From challenges to progress: FAIR compliance and digital methods across the lifecycle of language data

CLARIN-CH Day 2025 continues the dialogue initiated during the CLARIN-CH 2024 edition, bringing together researchers, data specialists, and legal experts to explore the evolving landscape of Open Research Data in linguistics and related disciplines.

This year’s event will focus on two central themes: advancing FAIR compliance (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) for language data and tools, and integrating digital methods and tools to support researchers at every stage of the data lifecycle—from data creation and curation to sharing and reuse.

The event will revisit the key challenges identified in 2024 and will provide a platform for researchers to present newly emerging challenges encountered in working with language data, both within and beyond linguistic research.

Through project updates, data pitches, expert panels, and collaborative discussions, CLARIN-CH Day 2025 aims to deepen the exchange between communities, spotlight innovative tools and solutions, and strengthen the infrastructure and support network for responsible and sustainable data practices within the CLARIN-CH ecosystem.

A call for contributions will open in early September.
