DARIAH ERIC is delighted to introduce its fifth call for projects open exclusively to DARIAH Working Groups (WG). The call acknowledges the strategic role of Working Groups in the DARIAH ecosystem, which represent - according to the Strategic Plan 2019-2026 - one of the four pillars of the DARIAH activities. 

Funding allocated under this scheme is intended to support the activities of established DARIAH Working Groups that are currently active. It intends to offer practical support for their programmes, encouraging Working Groups to put forward innovative ideas; to seek synergies by collaborating with each other and, in general, to build capacity to suggest new services, tools or training activities or to help develop and sustain existing ones.
