This demo and poster proposal responds to the DARIAH Annual Event 2026 theme by framing FAIR training materials as a key component of digital humanities infrastructures of engagement. Training resources enable participation, skills development, and sustained interaction between researchers, cultural heritage professionals, and wider publics. The design principles and architecture of the H2IOSC Training Infrastructure (Italy) are presented, focusing on how FAIR-oriented training libraries and distributed digital collections can support engaged Digital Arts and Humanities practices. Particular attention is given to the potential alignment between national initiatives and ERIC-level infrastructures, without assuming full technical integration. The proposal aims to:
- show how FAIR training materials can act as infrastructural elements for engagement and capacity building;
- discuss the role of distributed digital libraries and the importance of selective aggregation for training resources;
- reflect on the relationship between national training infrastructures and European research infrastructures, identifying opportunities and open challenges.
