Dear National Coordinators and User Involvement Representatives,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">we are now planning CLARIN Cafés (<a href="https://www.clarin.eu/content/clarin-cafe" class="">https://www.clarin.eu/content/clarin-cafe</a>) for 2021 which were originally started by CLARIN Ambassadors at the beginning of Covid-19 to make up
for the cancelled face-2-face events that would still make it possible for them to reach out to their communities. They were concieved as short, informal virtual interactive thematic sessions with a few invited speakers relevant for the topic and plentyy of
room for input/questions/discussion by the participants. They were incredibly well attended and received, so we decided to not only continue the initiative but extend it to other relevant topics, initiatives and members of the CLARIN network in 2021.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Through the Tour de CLARIN visits to your national consortia it was clear to me that you are doing amazing, inspiring and highly valuable work for CLARIN which is still not known well enough by the communities you serve, so you are kindly invited
to present your consortium, your experts, your services, your projects in one of our upcoming CLARIN Cafés. The format is as follows:</div>
<div class="">- duration: under 2 hours</div>
<div class="">- programme: your responsibility, choosing and inviting the speakers (can be your experts only, can also be researchers who have benefitted from your consortium and B- and C-centres, etc.), moderator, schedule</div>
<div class="">- logistics: responsibility of the CLARIN Office (website, registration form, emails to registered participants, Zoom support, joint Google slides, recording and publication of the videos on the CLARIN YouTube channel)</div>
<div class="">- dissamination: shared responsibility between the CLARIN Office (our regular channels) and you (your specialized channels to reach your target users)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you are interested to host one of the upcoming CLARIN Cafés in 2021, please pick the desired slot in this table: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mQ0shwpVHNnv4QGcn9kDEMl4M5u72qKwrGvZPGfsbqg/edit?usp=sharing" class="">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mQ0shwpVHNnv4QGcn9kDEMl4M5u72qKwrGvZPGfsbqg/edit?usp=sharing</a></div>
