DESIR (project no. 731081) aims to enhance the usage and awareness of DARIAH and its services and tools within the humanities research community and contributing thus to the sustainability of digital research infrastructures in the humanities.

Through DESIR, measures in six areas will be unfolded:

1. Improve the dissemination on behalf of DARIAH in the research community;
2. Promote the regional growth of DARIAH through new partner countries;
3. Technology activity, in particular the development and improvement of tools and services;
4. Robustness in the sense of improved sustainability through proven business models, a dissemination strategy and an efficient organisational structure;
5. Strengthen the trust in DARIAH especially in the recent joined up communities;
6. Offer an array of training instruments. The project is designed for 36 months and closely embedded in DARIAH-EU and DARIAH-DE.
