A wide range of topics were discussed, including the design, construction and operation of the CLARIN infrastructure, the data, tools and services it contains or needs, its actual use by researchers and teachers, its relationship with other infrastructures and projects.
Members of the Croatian consortium presented two papers. Bojana Mikelenić, Antoni Oliver and Marko Tadić presented the work Expansion of the RomCro corpus with texts in Catalan in the form of a poster at the main part of the conference. At the post-conference workshop Comparable and Interoperable Corpora of Academic Texts, Vanja Štefanec and Mako Tadić presented a new specialized corpus of the Croatian language, the Croatian Scientific Corpus.

For the purpose of creating a catalogue of language resources and tools that will be included in HR-CLARIN repository, the consorcium has launched a (meta)data collection campaign on language resources and tools created within Croatian scientific community.

All those who are interested in including their resources in the HR-CLARIN repository are kindly asked to fill out the survey form available on this link.

By including your resources in the repository, it immediately becomes available throughout the CLARIN research network which significantly increases the researchers' visibility within global scientific community and opens numerous opportunities for cooperation and networking.
