Structure and board of the infrastructure

Estonian Research and Cultural Data Infrastructure

The Estonian digital infrastructure for research and cultural data was included in the Estonian Research Infrastructure Roadmap in 2024, and it is funded for the period 2025–2029 through the national research infrastructure support scheme (TARISTU24-TK17).

The coordinating research and development institution for the infrastructure is Estonian Literary Museum. It is lead by Mari Väina. The Literary Museum also organizes the creation and development of the HUM data lab . 

The technical planning and implementation of the infrastructure’s IT development in collaboration with the other partners is led by AS Cybernetica.
