The KNAW Humanities Cluster (HuC) was founded in 2016 by the Huygens Institute for the History and Culture of the Netherlands, the International Institute for Social History (IISH) and the Meertens Institute. The HuC was established to stimulate collaboration between these three academic institutes of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) with the aim of improving national and international humanities research. In september 2017 we started with the Digital Humanities Lab. In april 2018 all ICT-departments were merged into the Digital Infrastructure department. And september 2019 NL-Lab started as part of the HuC.
