While Digital Humanities is a fast growing field with a growing visibility, there are only a handful of HEIs offering degrees in these new methods, theories, and tools throughout the world. Digital Humanities is interdisciplinary in nature, spanning not only the various fields of humanities, but also computer science, engineering, information studies, design and the social sciences. Students – the future researchers – need to acquire transversal digital competences and skills in order to conduct cutting-edge research in the Digital Humanities. Our challenge question wishes to address the professional skills that help the students to succeed on the market after a master in DH. We have this question in head, as Erasmus+ DARIAH-RC team.

With this question in mind, the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Project DARIAH-RC was initiated. The project, which has started in January 2015,  is addressing this need by developing an open source, freely-available, multilingual and modular reference curriculum in the area of Digital Humanities. The curriculum consisting of rich educational material will become part of  DARIAH online services that instructors across Europe can use as appropriate to their own institutional settings and expected learning outcomes.
