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.

Under previous ARP Ambassador Programs, Tamás supported the deposit of data from the Trianon100, Hungarian Family History, Ten Generations, and Work Momentum Research Groups; the SMALLST and Negotiating Sovereignty ERC Consolidator Grant projects; the database on the administrative network of the joint government of the Károlyi family in the nineteenth century; the Hungarian Literature as World Literature project; and the Literature and Translation in Hungarian Cultural Heritage NKFI Advanced Grant project. In 2026, he is contributing to the preparation and deposit of publicly shareable research data from the ProletGard – Proletarian Internationalism and the European Avant-Garde: A Comparative Investigation ERC Starting Grant project, while also supporting the preparation of the Political Justice in the Artistic Field after 1945 research dataset for deposit in the ARP Data Repository. His current work also focuses on enhancing the interoperability of structured humanities research data and promoting FAIR research data management and repository practices. He supports institutional research data management with a particular focus on data collection, storage, long-term preservation, and data sharing, and teaches courses on the fundamentals of born-digital data management and on repositories as scholarly infrastructures.
