Advancing FronTier Research In the Arts and hUManities (ATRIUM) is a European Commission funded project that aims to exploit and strengthen interconnections between leading European infrastructures: (DARIAH, ARIADNE, CLARIN, OPERAS) to improve access to a portfolio of state-of-the-art services available to researchers across countries, languages, domains and media. This project will build on a shared understanding and interoperability principles established in the SSHOC (Social Sciences & Humanities Open Cloud) cluster project and other previous collaborations.
Arts and Humanities is a diverse field, covering a range of disciplines and communities of practice that have different epistemological and methodological foundations – an archaeologist and an art historian studying a Mycenaean fresco will have distinct goals and different approaches to describing their objects of research. Research infrastructures in the Arts and Humanities domain must cater to a wide range of stakeholders and offer services that cut across discipline-specific boundaries.
ATRIUM will tackle this heterogeneity within the Arts and Humanities in two ways: by making a groundbreaking contribution to the consolidation and expansion of services, including data services, specifically in the field of archaeology, and by facilitating access to a wide array of essential text, image and sound-based services that cover all phases of the research data lifecycle.
The project is a collaboration between DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities), OPERAS (Open Access in the European Area through Scholarly Communication), CLARIN ERIC, Ariadne Research Infrastructure, University of Sheffield, Prisma Cultura S.r.l., Goeteborgs Universitet, University of South Wales, Laboratorio Nacional De Engenharia Civil, Idryma Technologias Kai Erevnas, The Cyprus Institute, Universite De Tours.

As part of this project the ADS will lead on two work packages: WP5: Curiosity-driven Demonstrators and WP8: Transnational Access
