SSHOC-NL enhances ODISSEI and CLARIAH, two successful digital infrastructures, to foster new research avenues of societal importance in the diverse realms of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). Addressing unique SSH infrastructural needs, like secure analytical environments for sensitive data, SSHOC-NL aligns innovations to create interoperable digital infrastructure. This collaboration enables researchers to securely link and analyze a wide range of data, including historical records, textual data, images, surveys, and social media, addressing critical societal issues such as polarization, social inequalities, and environmental changes. SSHOC-NL is dedicated to building the digital infrastructure necessary for researchers to tackle these challenges ethically and securely.
