Humanities Researchers and Digital Technologies: Building Infrastructures for a New Age 2. November 2011 09:33 New report from the European Science Foundation assesses Research Infrastructures in Humanities research Europe's leading scientists have pledged to embrace and expand the role of technology in the Humanities.

The report argues that while there are many sophisticated RIs in other domains of science that can inform and further Humanities research, ultimately, it is also necessary for Humanities scholars to build and have access to 'fit for purpose' Humanities RIs, given the nature of their data sets, research methods and working practices. -end- Notes to editors
