General information

This workshop will be virtual.

Date: 30 November - 1 December 2020
Time: 30 November from 13:00 to 16:30 and 1 December from 9:00 to 12:30 (CET)
Venue: CLARIN virtual Zoom meeting


Purpose

K-centres are an important element of the CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure. At present there are 23 K-centres. The purpose of the workshop is to create more visibility of the K-centres, outwards – towards the outside world and the users – , but also inwards – among the K-centres themselves. When K-centres know each other better, and know the expertise existing at other K-centres, they can better collaborate and make use of this expertise.

Additional purposes are to make K-centres aware of the various instruments at their disposal, and to discuss what CLARIN can do for K-centres.

K-centres are of obvious value for CLARIN, as they form a backbone of the Knowledge Infrastructure. Let us look at it from the K-centre angle:

  • What are the reasons for becoming a K-centre?
  • What do K-centres gain?

The Landscape of K-centres revisited. Does CLARIN miss K-centres? Do you miss access to expertise? What do you miss? [Slides]

Steven Krauwer, K-centre contact persons
11:30-12:00
  • What do K-centres expect from CLARIN?
  • How can CLARIN support K-centres? Visibility – website, CLARIN Café, consultation hours etc.

  • What would K-centres expect from other K-centres?
