• Platforms are a place for advice and information. To the extent of the skills available, they can provide support for your projects, and sometimes get involved in them.
• The reception is located in office 0.56, on the ground floor of the MSHS.They don’t work on a self-service basis, but on a project basis: you need to organize your time and resources, and so do we! If you have a defined need involving one of the platforms in its realization, please express it using one of the “project” sheets, wich are intended for the preparation of your project, but also for its technical follow-up and valorization (the platforms are mainly intended to promote scientific production that will be recognized).

If you are looking for equipment or services, at the MSHS in Poitiers (or in another MSH), the National Network of Houses of Human and Social Sciences (RnMSH) puts a search engine online.

 

This platform is dedicated to the digitization of written, drawn and oral documents on digital media. The objective is both conservation, but also to make it possible to use digital tools (processing, indexing, sharing, etc.). All disciplines are potentially concerned: geography (field photos, maps, etc.), history, anthropology (recordings, photos, etc.), etc.

Thanks to its equipment, the platform is a first-rate technical resource for heritage digitization and enhancement projects. Since its inception in 2007, more than 400,000 images have been digitized.

The platform also participates in digital data processing activities and has character recognition software (automatic processing capacity of 10,000 pages/month), voice recognition and computer development resources.

It offers advice on interoperability, standards, indexing, data mining, and more. It also offers support in the management of digital humanities projects, from the data management plan to the deposit of data in a warehouse. She is the contact point of the RI* Huma-Num.
The platform is also part of Huma-Num’s ARIANE consortium (Analyses, Research, Artificial Intelligence and New Digital Editions).

Its equipment is described here: Platform equipment.

This platform is part of the SCRIPTO network of platforms of the National Network of MSH and is based on a number of resources.

Achievements
The Nakala-Quarto-View tool, which allows the creation of a virtual library from data collections deposited in the Nalaka repository (https://nakala.huma-num.fr), was presented as part of the RnMHS SCRIPTO platform network on March 12, 2024. It is available on the Huma-num Gitlab and the generated demo site can be seen here.

 

The platform has also forged partnership relationships:

 

The University Data Platform of Poitiers, the PUD-UP, is a research support platform that aims to develop the culture of quantitative data in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Created in March 2020, it is supported by the MSHS and supported by the University of Poitiers.

It is a local component of the Progedo National Research Infrastructure (IR*) (PROduction et GEstion de DOnnées) responsible for promoting and structuring a public data policy for research in the social sciences.

It is part of the network of 17 PUDs spread over the metropolitan territory.

Its actions are in line with the PUD charter drawn up by Progedo.

It is aimed at the scientific community in the humanities and social sciences: in particular researchers, teacher-researchers, doctoral students and Master’s students.

The PUD-UP aims to promote and facilitate access to surveys and quantitative databases in the humanities and social sciences, national, European or international, disseminated by the Quetelet PROGEDO Diffusion portal and European or international consortia.

It supports researchers in research projects involving the access, production, management, processing, analysis, valorization and dissemination of data in the humanities and social sciences.

It organises and leads training courses (methods and tools for data collection, processing and analysis), events (data week, seminars) and awareness-raising actions (compliance with the GDPR, Data Management Plan) around data.

It ensures scientific monitoring by communicating on innovative methods and solutions for data collection, processing and analysis.

It makes resource videos available on its public channel PUD-UP de UPtube.

It is part of a more general open science approach.

It is led by Gaëlle Coz (research engineer, statistician) and led by Liliane Bonnal (scientific referent, professor of economics at CRIEF).

Study days and training seminars

In particular, the PUD-UP offers doctoral students and researchers study days, seminars or training workshops on data in the humanities and social sciences, on themes relating to the production, reuse, processing, analysis, valorization, dissemination of data, etc.

The identification and organization of these group training courses is done in collaboration with the research laboratories hosted at the MSHS, the doctoral schools and the Master’s supervisors.

The PUD-UP also takes into account individual training needs. If you wish to train on quantitative methods in the humanities and social sciences or free software, you can contact gaelle.coz@univ-poitiers.fr.

She communicates about her training to the SHS community.

Doctoral students who follow these courses can validate credits as part of their 90 hours of compulsory training.

The data-SHS week event takes place every year in the second week of December.
