On 1 – 2 September 2016, University of Bergen hosted a meeting between the CLARIN ERIC National Coordinators. Among the 19 participants were the National Coordinators of two of the three newest CLARIN ERIC members: Tamás Váradi from Hungary (to the left on the picture) and Jurgita Vaičenonienė from Lithuania (to the right).
CLARIN ERIC now has 19 full member countries, which are each represented by a National Coordinator. Among other things, the National Coordinators coordinate the national level implementation and exploitation of the CLARIN infrastructure between the CLARIN national consortia.
Prof. Koenraad De Smedt (coordinator of the CLARINO project) was interviewed by the University of Bergen. He stated, among other things, that the CLARIN infrastructure is essential to make language resources and tools available across Europe. Read the interview here. (The interview is in Norwegian.)
The Research Council of Norway has appointed Hege Høsøien (head of Research and Dissemination at the National Library of Norway) as Norway’s official delegate to the General Assembly of CLARIN ERIC.
 CLARINO was invited to teach at the annual LingPhil Summer School, which took place at Sommerøya outside of Tromsø, Norway, May 29 – June 4. Koenraad De Smedt and Gunn Inger Lyse lectured, and the ph.d. students were given the practical assignment of sketching a data management plan relevant for their own research.
“Camilla Stoltenberg mener datadeling er så viktig at hun kan tenke seg en nasjonal dataplan, etter inspirasjon fra Nasjonal transportplan.
– Det er enormt viktig med datadeling. Det er helt avgjørende for at forskningen skal bli bedre, mer sannferdig, mer åpen, at vi skal ta den i bruk. Jeg ser på data og datadeling som veibygging. Det må til for at forskningen skal blomstre og utvikle seg videre.”

The Selected Papers from the CLARIN 2015 Annual Conference have been published at Linköping University Electronic Press.
CLARIN-PLUS is organizing a Workshop on Exploring spoken word data in oral history archives. The event will take place in Oxford on April 18-19.
The CLARINO Bergen Centre received its CLARIN B Centre certificate on Jan. 27, 2016. It is the first center in Norway that satisfies all technical criteria for full compatibility in CLARIN. The center provides a language resources repository as well as online services for treebanking (INESS), corpus exploration (Corpuscle) and metadata management (COMEDI).
The CLARINO Bergen Repository, which is part of the CLARINO Bergen Centre, has been awarded the Data Seal of Approval (DSA). Together with its other services at Bergen (INESS, Corpuscle and Comedi), the centre will now apply for CLARIN B-status.
