Horizon Europe and DHI
The Digital Humanities Institute (DHI) collaborates in Horizon Europe projects requiring digital infrastructure, advanced data engineering, computational methodologies, and research-led innovation in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH).
This section outlines how DHI contributes to complex, transnational consortia — from proposal development through technical delivery and long-term sustainability.
With 30+ years of experience and 150+ funded projects, we combine infrastructure design, language and data technologies, responsible AI integration, and long-term stewardship of digital research platforms.
How to Use These Pages
These pages are designed to help coordinators quickly assess DHI’s role and contribution:
- Partner Profile – Institutional overview and track record
- Research and Technical Expertise – Core capabilities in infrastructure, data, and computational research
- Infrastructure and Facilities – Hosting, RSE model, HPC/cloud capacity, sustainability
- Role in Consortia – Work package leadership and contribution areas
- Data Governance and Open Science – GDPR, FAIR, responsible AI alignment
- International Collaboration and Delivery Experience – Selected transnational projects
- Current Calls of Interest – Targeted Horizon calls where we are actively seeking collaboration
Our Approach
DHI is not a service provider operating at the margins of research projects. We are a research partner that delivers digital infrastructure, data engineering, and computational research methods.
Our model embeds research software engineering within scholarly inquiry, ensuring that technical systems are methodologically robust, interoperable, sustainable, and aligned with Horizon Europe expectations for impact and durability.
We engage selectively in projects where we can add substantive value — particularly those requiring:
- Complex data integration across distributed collections
- Scalable computational analysis of cultural and societal data
- Responsible and transparent AI implementation
- Sustainable digital platform design
- Long-term stewardship of research outputs
Engagement
We welcome early discussions to scope technical architecture, data integration strategies, governance frameworks, and work package design.
