Last week, four DELIAH members took part in the ENLIGHT European Dialogue, hosted by the University of the Basque Country in San Sebastian. Centered on the theme “Co-creation of knowledge together with the Cultural & Creative sectors”, the two-day event brought together academics from the 10 ENLIGHT partner universities and external partners to network, exchange ideas, and foster bottom-up collaborations in the Culture and Creativity domain, one of ENLIGHT’s six flagship areas.
During one of the thematic parallel sessions, Aitor, Amber, and Olsen presented the DELIAH project and its predecessor, HACIDA. This scientific research network, focused on “Humor and Conflict in the Digital Age”, was funded by an ENLIGHT RISE Grant and helped establish the topic and members of DELIAH.
The event was a great opportunity to share the project's origins and gain valuable feedback on our future directions. Discussions touched on how to translate academic research into accessible policy reports and toolkits, as well as how to build a shared research language among researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds.
We’re excited to take these conversations forward – follow along to see how they unfold in the months ahead.
