National Consortium
To enable the participation of Switzerland in CLARIN, several Swiss institutions founded the CLARIN-CH Consortium in December 2020. During autumn 2024, all member institutions have renewed their initial agreement. The current CLARIN-CH Consortium Agreement is valid for 2025-2028.
The CLARIN-CH Consortium fully adheres to the CLARIN ERIC mission and vision, and enables the implementation of this vision to the Swiss context. Each institution which is a member of the CLARIN-CH Consortium has one representative in the CLARIN-CH Board, which is the body of CLARIN-CH with full decision-making powers.
The 2025-2028 Consortium agreement stipulates the purpose of the Consortium, its functioning and the members' responsibilities.
CLARIN-CH Statutes and the CLARIN-CH Consortium Agreement shall be used as complementing documents. The CLARIN-CH Statutes are an integral part of the Consortium Agreement.
