Tamás Scheibner is a historian and literary scholar, a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of History at the Research Centre for the Humanities, and an Associate Professor at the Institute of Cultural Studies and Hungarian Literature at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. As an undergraduate, he minored in Informatics in the Humanities. Between 2016 and 2019, he was involved as a senior researcher in the development of the database and related digital learning environment for the H2020 COURAGE project. Scheibner has contributed to several digital projects related to the 1956 revolution and is currently leading the development of a prosopographical database of post-revolutionary refugees and Hungarian emigration. The database will be used to study migration processes, and institutional and personal networks. In the field of digital humanities, he is particularly interested in reconciling diverse research approaches and needs, as well as in promoting digital solutions for users without IT expertise.

In 2025, he is contributing to the deposit of databases from the Literature and Translation in Hungarian Cultural Heritage NKFI Advanced Grant project. He also supports institutional data management with a focus on data collection, data storage, long-term archiving, and data sharing, and offers courses on the fundamentals of born-digital data management and the operation of repositories as scholarly infrastructures.
