Project summary

The aim of the project is to create a national intelligent digital research infrastructure for the humanities and arts. The infrastructure will facilitate acquisition, storage and integration of diverse research data, as well as processing, visualization and sharing of digital resources. To reach this goal, a network of distributed laboratories will be built and equipped with modern tools and resources to enable interdisciplinary research requiring the use of diverse materials, linked to business entities.

Planned effects:

  • broadening the scope of research in the humanities and arts conducted in Poland
  • digitalization and protection of tangible and intangible cultural heritage and making this heritage accessible to wide groups of recipients
  • increasing the competitiveness of Polish research centers and those related to culture and art in Poland and abroad
  • accelerating the pace of development of creative industries and regional tourism.

The Decade Corpus

The main contribution of IPI PAN to the project is the Decade Corpus (Korpus Dekady), i.e. the Corpus of Contemporary Polish (KWJP) – a balanced and representative corpus of written Polish covering texts from 2011–2020, available at http://kwjp.pl.
