Over the course of the two-day event, research projects by members of the CLARIAH-CM Node were presented, along with posters on Digital Humanities and Language Technologies linked to the six public universities in Madrid. In addition, renowned experts delivered lectures on the role of the DARIAH and CLARIN infrastructures within SSHOC (Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cluster) to boost our community’s profile within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). Specifically, Pilar Rico Castro (FECYT) spoke about Spain’s research strategy regarding the EOSC, whilst Sally Chambers (SSHOC and DARIAH-EU) gave a lecture on SSHOC and the future of research infrastructures in the social sciences and humanities within the EOSC. Finally, Gustavo Candela (UA) spoke about the reuse of digital collections and Digital Humanities Labs. In addition, a training workshop on metadata enrichment using AI was held, led by Pilar Escobar Esteban and Dolores Sáez Fernández (UA).
