MEETING OF THE EXTENDED CLARIN-D CONSORTIUM IN BRAUNSCHWEIG

On Monday 23 and Tuesday 24 March the Georg Eckert Institute will host the members of the CLARIN-D consortium for their quarterly workshop, which will be attended by the leaders of ten discipline-specific working groups and the members of selected data curation projects.

The programme for the first day of the conference will cover the current development status of CLARIN-D and its outlook, planning for the summer school and will include dialogue between the working groups from different branches of philology, social sciences, linguistics and history. A meeting of CLARIN-D developers will take place at the same time. On Tuesday the leaders of various work packages, from technical infrastructure and legal issues to education and training, will report and advise on progress and further action.

CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure) is a pan-European undertaking to develop a web and centres-based research infrastructure for the humanities and social sciences. Its aim is to provide integrated data, tools and services, which are interoperable and scalable. The German subsection CLARIN-D has been supported by the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) since 2011.

The GEI has been the leader and coordinator of the discipline-specific working group “Modern History” since 2014. It contributes data from GEI Digital to the curation project, “Sources of new information: practical and scientific knowledge for amateurs and experts from the Enlightenment to modernity”, which is part of this working group and which is based at the University of Göttingen.
