CLARIN

Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure (CLARIN ERIC) is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium founded in 2012. It comprises national consortia in and outside the European Union, consisting of institutes such as universities, research centres, libraries and public archives. The goal of the consortium is providing access to digital language data collections, to digital tools, and training material for researchers to work with the language resources. Objectives The goal of CLARIN is to make various digital language resources and tools from all over Europe and beyond accessible through a single sign-on online environment for the support of researchers in the humanities and social sciences and to support scholars who want to engage in data-driven research, contributing to a multilingual European Research Area. CLARIN is one of the research infrastructures selected for the European Research Infrastructures Roadmap by ESFRI the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures. In the 2016 ESFRI Roadmap CLARIN was listed as a landmark. One of the missions of the CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure is to ensure that the knowledge and expertise available throughout the CLARIN infrastructure is accessible in an organised way, easy to navigate for the CLARIN community and for the Social Sciences and Humanities research community at large. A cornerstone of the CLARIN knowledge sharing ecosystem are the Knowledge Centres, institutions with expertise in one or more aspects of the domain covered by the CLARIN community. Services and resources CLARIN offers a wide range of services, some of which are integrated in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). They include:
