What is Research?
April 23-25, 2026 • University of Oregon Portland
What is Research? (2026) will bring together scholars to explore various
natures, purposes, and roles of research across disciplines, fields, and
areas. The event will consider frameworks of systematic and creative
inquiry, including methods, designs, analyses, discoveries, collaborations,
dissemination, ethics, integrity, pluralism, media/technologies, and
information environments.
The thirteenth What is…? gathering delves into research in its many forms,
including searching, critically investigating, and re-examining existing
knowledge, as well as emerging functions and procedures in machine
intelligence and computation. It will highlight pluralities of research
pathways, examining time-honored
approaches and new ways of knowing, precedents, issues, and futures. It
considers challenges and possibilities that researchers face in today’s
rapidly changing world, and ways to promote ethical, accessible, and
impactful research.
Scholars, government and community officials, scientists, artists,
students, filmmakers, grassroots community organizations, public sector and
industry professionals, and the public are invited to collaborate.
Proposals that take a transdisciplinary perspective are especially
encouraged, drawing on insights and methods from multiple fields to shed
new light on research processes.
Presentations / panels / installations / experiential art may include
these topics (as well as others):
• How does research and creative scholarship emerge from inquiry? How do
they impact society?
• What are relationships between theory, method, and practice in research?
• What are qualitative, quantitative, multimethod, multimodal,
participatory & arts-based approaches?
• What influences research design and data analysis?
• What are issues involved in validation (e.g., reproducibility,
replicability, and cross-validating)?
• What are various modes of collaboration and how can they be organized?
• What are some considerations in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
research?
• How are integrations of natural & artificial intelligence with quantum
computing affecting research?
• What are environmental considerations of developments in machine
learning & large data centers?
• How is research disseminated? How does it effectively engage publics and
inform policy-making?
• How are ethics imbricated in research and how can researchers conduct
work with integrity?
• What are benefits and challenges of compliance (e.g., privacy, security,
review boards)?
• How can research address global challenges (e.g., health, inequality,
poverty, climate change)?
• How is research used to drive solutions-based approaches and what are
the challenges involved?
• How does research in academia differ from research in industry and/or
community?
• What are the obstacles involved in translating findings into action?
• What issues are involved in targeted, universal, and targeted universal
approaches to research?
• What are criteria and implications of various forms of research funding?
• How are meta-analyses and systematic reviews engaging human-machine
collaboration?
• How can research education be integrated into teaching and learning? How
are next generations of researchers being trained?
• CALL FOR PROPOSALS •
Send 150-200 word abstracts for papers / panels / art / experiences

Subject: UK DARIAH Day: 7 November 2025
Dear colleagues,
The 2025 UK DARIAH Day will be held at the University of Edinburgh on Friday 7
November. All researchers, practitioners, and infrastructure providers in
Digital Humanities in the UK are welcome. We also invite contributions to the
Lunchtime Showcase – please indicate interest when registering.
The programme will include keynotes, panels, a lunchtime project showcase, and a
hands-on futures workshop led by Jen Ross and Melissa Terras. The full programme
and registration form can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dariah-
day-2025-tickets-1537559875979. Attendance is free, but registration is
essential.
The event is organised by the UK cooperating partners of the DARIAH European
Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC): the Universities of Brighton,
Edinburgh, Exeter and Leeds; Kings College London; and the School of Advanced
Study, University of London. DARIAH ERIC enhances and supports digitally enabled
research and teaching across the arts and humanities.
Kind regards,
Jessica Witte
University of Edinburgh
