Clarin Eric

CLARIN – or Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure– is a research infrastructure initiated from the vision that all digital language resources and tools from all over Europe and beyond are accessible through a single sign-on online environment for the support of researchers in the humanities and social sciences. The CLARIN infrastructure is governed and coordinated by CLARIN ERIC. An ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) is an international legal entity, established by the European Commission in 2009. CLARIN ERICs members are governments or intergovernmental organisations. Since 2012 several countries have joined either as full member, or as observer. The ultimate goal is to include all EU and associated countries as well as third countries in or outside Europe.
