UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network Workshop: 'Capacity enhancement in DH: training and beyond' 15 December 2020 The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Associationhttps://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FV002163%2F1 (PIs: Prof. Jane Winters and Dr. Michelle Doran) is a network funded by the AHRC and IRC that brings together different stakeholders in Digital Humanities and related fields to consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression, among other key questions. Institutions and individuals engaged with the network will work to propose ways in which the UK and Ireland can build a collaborative vision for the field, and create new and sustainable long-term partnerships in alignment with the international community. The objectives of the workshop, organised for the network by King's Digital Lab, are the following:

* Contribute to developing pathways to sustained, effective and widespread capacity-building for DH researchers in the UK and Ireland across disciplines, institutions and career stages. * Contribute to define specific pathways for training highly interdisciplinary humanists who are able to work across multiple sectors, including and beyond academia. * Contribute to the broad inclusion of communities beyond individuals based in research-performing organisations, including cultural heritage institutions, the arts and creative industries, and interested citizen scientists. * Provide opportunities for individual researchers to develop their skills and networks, and to contribute to international debates about the future of the field. * Consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression. The workshop discussions and findings will contribute to a discussion paper outlining capacity gaps in UK and Ireland digital humanities, with reference to the European and global contexts, and training strategies that could be used by a future UK-Ireland DH Association to resolve them.
