On November 12 from 15:30 – 18:00 at UZH center, the Digital Society Initiative together with LiRI will hold a public panel discussion on “What does and what should AI know?”.
On September 30, 2025, the first version of the official CLARIN citation guidelines were published. They define the minimal information required when referencing datasets archived within the CLARIN network. We encourage the CLARIN-CH community to make use of these guidelines as they will strengthen the visibility of shared resources.
K-centres are the cornerstone of the CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure. Two of the 38 centres are either fully developed, or co-hosted by Swiss institutions. LLMs4SSH is a virtual centre in which language researchers from UZH and USI collaboratively support researchers in the effective use of large language models for the social sciences and humanities. Developed by the Digital Discourse Lab at ZHAW, CLARIN-APPLIED is a K-centre offering services concerning applied discourse analysis with the focus on multilingual corpora and corpora suitable for comparative analysis.
