This research analyses the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) and on the research communities that take part in them. In particular, it examines the case study of the DARIAH-ERIC, the Research Infrastructure for the (digital) Arts and Humanities, and its Working Groups. These are communities of researchers gathered around similar research interests with the aim of providing concrete solutions to scholarly challenges. This doctoral thesis investigates collaborative practices taking place in the DARIAH Working Groups, by focussing on the epistemic and socio/political dynamics created by the interaction of practices and governance models proper of Research Infrastructures and research Communities. Finally, this research asks, do Research Infrastructures encourage collaboration among researchers? In this dissertation, I couple an institutional perspective - which has deeper roots in the field of Research Policy - with a research methodology (including ethnographic methods) originating in the Philosophy of Science and Social Epistemology. Drawing on existing literature and empirical research, I identify the concept of co-creation as central in dynamics of knowledge creation in Research Infrastructures. Concluding, I argue that within Research Infrastructures, co-creation becomes societally and culturally relevant because of its crucial role in knowledge and technology transfer between stakeholders: as an example, the DARIAH Working Groups connect several actors, such as researchers, research managers, policymakers or citizens, from different disciplines and background, and provide an answer to concrete social or scholarly challenges.

En los últimos años la preservación y puesta en valor del Patrimonio Cultural ha crecido en la escala de prioridades de nuestra sociedad. Hay una creciente necesidad de digitalizar los bienes culturales utilizando nuevas tecnologías. La adquisición de imágenes en 3D es una de ellas. Sin embargo, si bien las técnicas de registro 3D están ampliamente difundidas a nivel mundial, casi no tienen antecedentes de desarrollo y/o aplicación en la Argentina. Por otra parte, la conservación y documentación del arte contemporáneo presenta nuevas problemáticas particulares respecto al arte tradicional, particularmente en arte de instalación y arte efímero. Esta tesis explora las posibilidades y limitaciones que tienen las nuevas tecnologías de registro 3D, realidad virtual y realidad aumentada, en arte tradicional y contemporáneo, particularmente en la conservación y documentación de colecciones de museos. Se presenta un sistema de registro de imágenes 3D de acceso gratuito desarrollado utilizando fotogrametría digital, instrumental de bajo costo y software libre.
