We are delighted to welcome Chiara Zuanni as the new Chair of EADH!

Chiara’s work sits right where things get exciting: at the crossroads of digital humanities and museum studies. From museum data practices to 3D digitisation, from born-digital curation to new ways of mediating cultural heritage through digital media, her research doesn’t just follow the field, it actively shapes it.

Her journey reflects that same curiosity and drive. With a background in Classics and Archaeology (University of Bologna) and a PhD in Museology (University of Manchester), Chiara has worked across institutions including the University of Liverpool and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Since moving to Austria in 2018, she has been a key figure at the University of Graz, where she advanced from tenure-track assistant professor to associate professor after completing her Habilitation in Digital Humanities in 2024.

Since September 2025, she holds the Professorship in Digital Cultures and Digital Humanities at the University of Krems.

Chiara brings not only deep expertise, but also a thoughtful, forward-looking perspective on how digital practices are transforming the ways we understand, curate, and engage with cultural heritage.

We couldn’t be more excited to see where her leadership will take EADH.
