About Us
The current DARIAH-CH consortium was constituted on 30 November 2021 by the Universities of Basel, Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel and Zurich, the Università della Svizzera italiana, the EPFL and the SAGW/SAHSS.
The aim of the consortium was to establish the national coordination office of DARIAH-CH. With the establishment of the consortium, the scientific community manifests its interest in a national coordination of DARIAH-relevant activities as well as the necessity of a Swiss full membership with a corresponding representation of DARIAH-EU in Switzerland.
DARIAH’s activities in Switzerland are coordinated by DaSCH. PD Dr. Rita Gautschy, director of DaSCH, is acting as National Coordinator, while Dr. Cristina Grisot, National Coordination Officer, organises all DARIAH-CH activities and manages the DARIAH requests for Switzerland. Prof. Dr. Tobias Hodel, from the University of Bern, is acting as president of the DARIAH-CH Consortium.
