 Johannes Paulmann, spokesperson for the [[https://4memory.de/|NFDI4Memory]] consortium for historically working sciences as part of the development of a National Research Data Infrastructure. 4Memory represents not only the field of history as such but also other disciplines that make use of historical data as part of their methodologies, such as economic and social history, religious studies, and area studies. It aims to ensure the quality of historical research data, thereby safeguarding the critical role of the humanities in complex, rapidly changing societies. Johannes Paulmann explained the **bottom-up creation of the NFDI4Memory consortium** and how the project was built to serve the needs of the scientific community.  Johannes Paulmann, spokesperson for the [[https://4memory.de/|NFDI4Memory]] consortium for historically working sciences as part of the development of a National Research Data Infrastructure. 4Memory represents not only the field of history as such but also other disciplines that make use of historical data as part of their methodologies, such as economic and social history, religious studies, and area studies.

ODISSEI is the National Research Infrastructure for **Social Sciences** with diverse components, including access to data, expertise and computing, and offers a wide range of support opportunities. Its explicit aim is to unite the social sciences and create a common, national infrastructure for research. In 2024, ODISSEI started the SSHOC-NL collaboration with its counterpart in the **humanities** [[https://www.clariah.nl/|CLARIAH-NL]], which is the collaboration between CLARIN "Common Language Resources and Language Technology" and DARIAH "Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities". Lucas van der Meer explained the **top-down creation of SSHOC-NL** at the request of the Dutch Research Council (NWO), its governance and its internal organisation allowing the autonomy of both ODEISSEI and CLARIAH, and insisted on the importance of collaboration above all.+Lucas van der Meer, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at [[https://odissei-data.nl/|ODISSEI]] (Open Data Infrastructure for Social Science and Economic Innovations) and Co-CTO of [[https://sshoc.nl/|SSHOC-NL]].

-Moderated by Cristina Grisot, the discussion was lively and insightful. Panelists were invited to discuss about the funding situation of research infrastructures in Switzerland, the role of the Academy for Social and Human Sciences in the current prioritization and funding of RIs in the SSH, the role of university libraries when it comes to providing national infrastructures for the SSH, and the case of digital editions which is a large field in the humanities and which does not have a dedicated national infrastructure, among others. +Moderated by Cristina Grisot, the discussion was lively and insightful.
