The main objective of this deliverable is to widen the user base of FIN-CLARIAH by specifically targeting multimodal cultural heritage data researchers when organizing training workshops on different RI tools and data and conducting explicit user monitoring of the facility.
To this end, since the start of 2025 we hosted one training workshop for researchers on the resources of the facility in collaboration with other WPs and one dissemination event on the possibilities of conducting research with digital cultural heritage data:
Both activities happened online and required participants to be working with or be interested in cultural heritage data – thus complying with the aim of this deliverable. Given that community engagement should be continuous, it is previewed that more activities will be organized during autumn 2025.
Beyond the organization of these activities, members of Module 5 also took part in the online kick-off of the DARIAH-FI working group “Cultural heritage data and tools”, organized on February 26, where the goal was to establish a new working group dedicated to these resources and identify potential joint interests and collaboration opportunities.
Similarly, a publication related to research data management and data-intensive social sciences and humanities research was recently published. This publication, which also involved cultural heritage data researchers, highlighted the needs of scholars who conduct data-intensive social sciences and humanities research in relation to research data management. These results will be used by the RI to better consider the research data management needs of scholars who conduct data-intensive social sciences and humanities research.
