About CLARIN
CLARIN is the Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure. It is a research infrastructure that was 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.
CLARIN provides access to a series of repositories - digital archives where language resources can be stored, accessed and shared. There are three main categories of resources: data, services and tools. This includes datasets, which cover various dimensions such as language, modality, time span, and more.
CLARIN also offers researcher-oriented gateway applications, including a search engine for a wide range of language resources, as well as access to applications to discover, explore, exploit, annotate, analyse or combine language data.
To access resources, CLARIN lets users log in to protected data and services with their own institutional login and password (federated identity). For a complete list, see participating identity federations.
CLARIN is a distributed network, made up of the CLARIN Governance and Coordination body (CLARIN ERIC), national consortia, centres of expertise of various types, and online services.

CLARIN Knowledge Centres (K-centres) are a cornerstone of the CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure (KI), one of the main components ensuring a continuous transfer of knowledge between all players involved in the construction, operation and use of the infrastructure. The mission of the CLARIN knowledge infrastructure is to ensure that the available knowledge and expertise does not exist as a fragmented collection of unconnected bits and pieces, but is made accessible in an organised way to both the CLARIN community and the social sciences and humanities research community more widely.
Every month, CLARIN publishes a newsflash with an overview of what has been happening at CLARIN, the national consortia, such as calls for papers, event announcements, etc. Subscribe to the CLARIN Newsflash to stay informed.
