The purpose of this first national Swedish CLARIN workshop is to take stock of ongoing activities falling within the remit of SWE-CLARIN, as well as to look ahead, by formulating needs to be filled and research avenues to be explored over the upcoming years. The workshop will be organized in conjunction with SLTC 2014, the Fifth Swedish Language Technology Conference, in Uppsala on the morning of the 13th of November 2014.
