Activity

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. 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 Science and Humanities 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.

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.

The H2IOSC consortium includes 12 CNR institutes and 18 CNR operating units.
