Maxim Rumyantsev, Chair of the Russian Association for Digital Humanities says that the idea of uniting researchers who use digital technologies in the Humanities was implemented in a short time by joint work: «Membership in the association will give an opportunity to participate in annual conferences and be a part of the community, young scientists will be able to get support in their research and travel grants. What is the most important, the association is a platform for experience exchange with colleagues from all over the world. Our aim is to become open to European scholars, demonstrating the results of our research that can be as inspirational and rigorous as research done in Europe, USA, and Australia.».
