The Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) aims to contribute to eHumanities.NL through the research activities in a number of ongoing initiatives, among which several so-called REI-projects (EUR-funding for research excellence) and projects funded with LDE grants (for collaboration with Leiden and Delft).
They cover a range of topics and methodological frameworks.
An important potential benefit or EUR would be the reinforcement of the orientation on multidisciplinary research. The strong focus on multidisciplinarity in eHumanities.NL can help EUR groups to find additional inspiration for designing projects that cross disciplinary boundaries and to identify potential allies.
The objectives include the development of new methodological frameworks for the integration of the quantitative and qualitative analysis of social data types (including text and audio).
Another important potential benefit for EUR would be collaboration in the development of models for training the next generation of SSH students in ‘digital research methods’,
Several researchers (from the faculties ESHCC, FSW and RSM) have indicated to see ample opportunities for the development of valorisation activities related to the eH.NL research agenda.
