Funded by the University of Lille Foundation for the period 2024-2025, the D(OA)NUBIUS Initiative lies in the open-access deployment of the results of the DANUBIUS Project.

The aim is to finalise the online publication of the databases, by developing a completely new open access platform, fully respecting the FAIR principles. In addition, this tool will lay the necessary foundations for the expansion of the study to the whole of Central and Eastern Europe, while constituting an example for other projects for the production of archaeological, epigraphic and prosopographical metasources.

The funding from the University of Lille Foundation will mainly be used for four actions:

  1. correction and standardisation of files already created by an English-speaking publishing professional;
  2. various improvements to the current registration system;
  3. creation and development of the open access platform;
  4. training and definitive transfer of skills—linked to the source codes of the software solution—to the University of Lille.
