From October 7 to 9, 2026, the 6th DARIAH-HR International Conference – Digital Humanities & Heritage (DHH 2026) took place at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula in Croatia. Andrej Gogora actively participated in the event, representing the Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (IESA SAS).
The main theme of this year’s conference was “Cultural Memory vs. Machine Memory.” The event was co-organized by DARIAH-HR, the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research in Zagreb, DARIAH-IT, and the Faculty of Humanities at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula. The conference reflected on the growing presence of artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems in memory institutions and research infrastructures.
