CLARIN Annual Conference 2020

The 2020 edition of the CLARIN Annual Conference will be organised as an online event. This year’s edition has been designed to attract a wider audience and get the most out of the innovative options that come with a virtual format, so be prepared for a different experience!

Special Sessions

The event will consist of special sessions and will be enriched with an informal programme to include a panel on AI, language data and the role of RIs, as well as a tech-infused improvised theatre and comedy show including an AI-based chat bot. For those who'd like to have an introduction to CLARIN and learn how we can be helpful to researchers in the SSH domain, we suggest registering for the CLARIN Café: This is CLARIN. How can we help you? which offers a quick overview.  See the full event programme.

Over the coming weeks the regular CLARIN communication channels will be used to keep the community informed. This conference page will always provide the latest details.

With the virtual format we can accommodate more visitors than ever, and #CLARIN2020 welcomes both the attendees of previous years and all newbies with an interest in getting familiarised with what CLARIN is about.

*In case of high registration numbers CLARIN needs some time to adjust the capacity of the virtual platform.

The event is organised in order to exchange ideas and experiences with the CLARIN infrastructure.
