Collaborate
The Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) thrives through collaboration. Whether you bring expertise, funding, or shared goals, there are multiple ways to engage with us to advance digital scholarship, innovation, and open knowledge.
We welcome faculty from across Virginia Tech (and beyond) to become Affiliate Faculty with CDRS. As an affiliate, you can:
- Co-develop or lead interdisciplinary digital research projects
- Develop and share tools or methods for digital scholarship
- Shape events, workshops, seminar series, and collaborative proposals
- Engage with students and faculty in CDRS programs
We work closely with internal units, external organizations, and funding agencies. Sponsors and partners help us scale our services, support emerging research, and pilot new platforms and tools. Benefits of sponsorship include:
- Visibility in our publications, website, and events
- Expand training and outreach programs
- Opportunities to co-host public events or digital scholarship showcases
- Strategic alignment with university research priorities and national initiatives
We also welcome in-kind contributions such as hosting, infrastructure, or technical staffing support.
