Costas Papadopoulos and Susan Schreibman have been awarded a prestigious €1 million grant from the platform Digitale Infrastructuur Social Sciences & Humanities (PDI-SSH).
With this grant, they will develop ‘PURE3D’: a digital infrastructure for the publication and preservation of 3D scholarship. Such an infrastructure is in the national interest as it addresses a growing research area, in effect, elevating 3D models from static representations to digital scholarly editions.
Such an infrastructure does not exist anywhere else in the world, providing The Netherlands with the opportunity of being world leaders in the transformation of 3D scholarship.
Thanks to this grant, Costas and Susan can develop this national research infrastructure in the next three years in collaboration with the Common Lab Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (CLARIAH), Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) as well as the 4D Research Lab (UvA), Nederlands Mijnmuseum, Museum van Bommel van Dam, Erfgoed Leiden en Omstreken, and Gemeente Maastricht. Their team will be completed with a PostDoc, a software engineer, and a research assistant.
