Sustainability of the natural world as the opposite of current climate trajectoriesSlide3
Slide4

The ‘Happy 18

th

Birthday’ model of research project sustainabilitySlide5

Horace on Sustainability

I've raised a monument to outlast bronze,

Whose heights no dynast's pyramid can exceed,

Which neither North Wind's bluster nor the gnaw

Of rain, nor countless years in slow stampede,

Nor flight of eras can level to the ground.Slide6

Plato on Sustainability

“The

specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the

reality

.”Slide7

Definitions of Sustainability

to be maintained “at a certain rate or level,” (as in sustainable growth)

and

to be upheld or defended as valid, correct, or true” (as in a sustainable argument).

Imagining sustainability

Imagining research infrastructures Slide9

‘Metonymical’ approaches to sustainabilitySlide10

But infrastructures are, in fact, most like elephants

Need to know your ‘blind men’

Need to know your ‘anatomy’ – asset portfolio and knowledge auditSlide11

Five key principles to guide sustainable development of research projects and infrastructure

(Edmond and

Morselli

, forthcoming)

1. EMBED INTO PARTNERSHIPS and

NETWORKS

 

2. DEVELOP WITH MODULARITY AND

OPENNESS, KNOWING YOUR USE PARADIGM MAY NOT BE THE ONLY ONE

 

3. DOCUMENT, VALIDATE and

SHARE

 

4. MAINTAIN CLARITY OF PURPOSE AND SIMPLICITY OF

ACCESS

 

5. APPROACH SUSTAINABILITY AS A PROCESS, NOT AN END

Existential Questions

What are our facets? Who are our ‘users’?

What are we good for?

How can we reach beyond our current community to serve the wider humanities community?

What should we say ‘no’ to?

What do we need to do to prove value to our researchers? To our countries?

How can DARIAH embody BOTH definitions of sustainable? How can we, like Horace, become truly embedded?Slide16

Do we need new metaphors for what we are?Slide17
