[Userinvolvement] User Involvement meeting

[Martin Wynne]

A meeting of the CLARIN User Involvement Group, with participation 
invited from all CLARIN countries, will take place as a pre-conference 
workshop at the CLARIN Annual Conference 2016, in Aix-en-Provence, on 
the morning of Wednesday 26 October. The meeting will have the topic 
'Measuring Engagement, Usage and Impact of CLARIN in the Humanities and 
Social Sciences', and will be a practical workshop on recording, 
measuring, aggregating and disseminating evidence of the uptake and 
added value of the CLARIN infrastructure. This will be an important 
event for gathering evidence for the CLARIN annual reports, and we hope 
that at least one person from each CLARIN member country will attend.

Participants will need to arrive in Aix on Tuesday 25 October in order 
to be there in time for the meeting.

You will have seen that the CLARIN ERIC webpages have been updated to a 
new design. There is now a new landing page for user involvement 
activities, with links to key documents. This can be found at:

https://www.clarin.eu/user-involvement

The best way to start preparing for the event in October is to ensure 
that our records for user involvement activities in your country are up 
to date. Please let us know what has been happening since the last 
annual conference via the webform at:

https://www.clarin.eu/group-page/webform-submitting-user-involvement-activities 
(also linked from the page above)

Or send me details if you already have records online or in another 
format. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Best wishes,
Martin
