Vicky Garnett is a Research Fellow in the Trinity Centre for Digital Humanities at Trinity College Dublin, and holds a PhD in Sociolinguistics with a strong interest in research ethics, and is the Training and Education Officer for DARIAH-EU. In 2024, DARIAH celebrated its 10 year anniversary as an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium). In 2025, DARIAH turned to the future as we began drafting our next Strategic Plan (2026-2030). This talk will reflect on some of the issues that have arisen since 2014 specific to training and education within the European landscape, and how the DARIAH community has both informed and reacted to those issues. We will look at the lessons learned along the way, and what opportunities await national consortia to engage with shaping how European Research Infrastructures such as DARIAH meet the future needs of their communities.
