The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association brings together researchers, practitioners and organisations from both countries to build a collaborative vision for the field, with a focus on issues such as sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacyand career progression. This vision for the field builds on long-standing partnerships, research, and Centres of Excellence to further development and innovation in Digital Humanities.
