PARTHENOS-project.eu 5 PARTHENOS IN A NUTSHELL The PARTHENOS project empowers digital research in the fields of History, Language Studies, Cultural Heritage, Archaeology, and related fields across the (Digital) Humanities. It provides a thematic cluster of European Research Infrastructures, integrating initiatives, e-infrastructures and other world-class infrastructures, and builds bridges between different, tightly interrelated fields. Investing in culture is investing in the future!

PARTHENOS-project.eu … supports the work of the two main research infrastructures, CLARIN (language studies) and DARIAH (digital humanities), as well as the contributions of various integration projects addressing specific subdomains. By working together, PARTHENOS will: develop common standards to ease exploitation; coordinate joint activities among research projects; harmonize policy definition and implementation; pool methods and services; and share solutions to the same problems. 6 PARTHENOS … WHY PARTHENOS? Digital technologies have led to the creation of large digital archives, and to a variety of innovative research methodologies applicable to these archives. We are now eager to integrate these archives and new methods to support digital research.

PARTHENOS-project.eu - PARTHENOS will establish the foundations for future interoperability of the Humanities - other domains will be able to integrate into PARTHENOS (the infrastructure under devlopment is simple and flexible to enable this) - other less integrated domains will be able to learn the value of preserving and sharing data and findings (e.g. the two communities served by IPERION-CH) - PARTHENOS will build bridges between the existing ERICs and provide a roadmap for future development and collaboration of the ERICs. 17 PARTHENOS VISION
