Hosting and funding

RWAAI is hosted by the Centre for Languages and Literature and the Lund University Humanities Lab at the Faculty of Humanities and Theology, Lund University. It was established with generous funding from a Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond) Infrastructure Grant (2012-2015) and a second Infrastructure Grant (2018-2023). RWAAI builds on a long-standing and unparalleled collaborative research program spanning four decades of research into the Austroasiatic language family at the former Department of Linguistics and Phonetics, now part of the Centre for Languages and Literature.

The Lund University Humanities Lab hosts the RWAAI collections on the Archive Server and provides general technical infrastructure support and expertise. As a member of Swe-Clarin, part of of the European Digital Humanities Common Language and Resource Initiative (CLARIN), and Huminfra, a Swedish national infrastructure supporting digital and experimental research in the Humanities, LU Humanities Lab is committed to integrated and interoperable research infrastructure of language resources and technology ensuring persistence and accessibility to enable future possibilities in the evolving field of eHumanities research.

The Malmö Academy of Music contributed technical equipment and expertise to the project.

The Language Archive, MPI, Nijmegen and the Max-Planck Society provided software for archiving, as well as expertise.
