The mission of DYAS, the Greek Research Infrastructure Network for the Humanities, is:

- support for resource development, through a series of guidelines and specialized tools
- contributing to DARIAH services, by participating in specific tasks of the Virtual Competency Centres
- a digital humanities observatory to support continuous monitoring and recording of the advances in the field and to undertake dissemination actions.
