Presentation
H2IOSC is a pioneering project to create a collaborative cluster of European distributed research infrastructures involved in the humanities and cultural heritage sectors with operating nodes across Italy.
H2IOSC has been funded by the European Union Next Generation EU and the Italian Ministry of University and Research as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), with a partnership of 12 research Institutes from the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and 18 operating units from the CNR’s Department of Social Science and Humanities, cultural heritage (CNR DSU).
Through the enhancement and federation of CLARIN-IT, DARIAH-IT, E-RIHS.it, and OPERAS-IT, the four Italian nodes of the European Research Infrastructures committed in the Social and Cultural Innovation domain, H2IOSC will provide researchers, businesses, and citizens with an open and multidisciplinary environment that enables access to advanced tools for conducting innovative and computationally intensive research on complex digital data and objects.
E-RIHS.it, coordinated by the CNR ISPC – Institute of Heritage Science, leads the collaboration between the research infrastructures of the H2IOSC Cluster.
Impacts & Results
To promote accessibility and the FAIR approach, a one-stop, easy-entry place will be created, where users will find software, tools, datasets, services and pilot projects supporting specific needs of domain and cross-domain research. H2IOSC promotes a data centric approach, where resources are available in an integrated environment available through a set of Virtual and Remote access methods.
Promoting the adoption of open science paradigms, H2IOSC aims to become a national reference model for the development of open and interoperable digital research ecosystems. Through extensive collaborations with universities, libraries, archives, museums, and other research actors, H2IOSC will involve the scientific community directly in its activities, ensuring that their needs are represented.
