Popis: In this plenary keynote address we will discuss the transversal role of informatics in the humanities and social sciences and the challenges of fostering an intersection or relationship between hard and soft sciences. I propose a vision based on my life experience as an IT Engineer working in a History Institute and aim to give some food for thought on what I have called, coining a neologism, "Humanistic Transfer". This concept, developed as an analogy of "Technological Transfer", could be an interesting and potentially important topic to start a dialog (including Dialectics) at the conference. I will give an overview, as an example, of my peer reviewed paper presented at the 18th EISTA 2020© in the context of 14th IMSCI 2020©, on an ancient Sardinian and Mediterranean traditional hand game as a case study highlighting how the role of technicians can be applied to the humanities. I will report on other contributions concerning the enhancement of cultural heritage through innovative technological solutions I have developed and presented at previous international conferences and share other memorable experiences.
