There is a call circulating to set up a International Network of Digital Humanities Centres which looks like a good thing. It is in part a response to the Cyberinfrastructure report. The initiatives they imagine such a network being involved in are:
- workshops and training opportunities for faculty, staff, and students
- developing collaborative teams that are, in effect, pre-positioned to apply for predictable multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary, multi-national funding opportunities, beginning with an upcoming RFP that invites applications for supercomputing in the humanities
- exchanging information about tools development, best practices, organizational strategies, standards efforts, and new digital collections, through a digital humanities portal
