[Userinvolvement] Info on national User Involvement representatives for UI web page

[Erhard Hinrichs]

Dear Darja,

I am happy to provide you with the info for Germany.  Please note that 
due to internal re-organization of CLARIN-D responsibilities, I am now 
acting as User Involvement representative for CLARIN-D, with Jennifer 
Koritko acting as my deputy.  Please make sure that you include her (see 
cc to this email) in all communication about UI since Jennifer Koritko 
will be handling much of the communication on my behalf.

Revamping of the CLARIN ERIC webpage about UI is surely useful. Even 
more urgent, though, is the preparation of a user involvement strategy 
by CLARIN ERIC's Executive Director and its Director of User 
Involvement.  The User Involvement Document produced by your predecessor 
is not sufficient and cannot form the basis for user involvement 
activities to be coordinated by ERIC's UI committee. Germany has pointed 
this out at the past two GA meetings in Copenhagen and Athens and been 
asking for a new written strategy. Sadly, this has not been acting upon 
up to now and remains a necessary step before CLARIN-D can effectively 
engage in further UI activities at the ERIC level.

Germany continues to look forward to a comprehensive user involvement 
strategy in written form as input to the next UI committee meeting and 
as a basis for further work on this committee.

Thank you and best wishes for the holidays and the new year,

Erhard

- A short description (roughly 3 sentences) of the work they are doing

CLARIN-D is working closely with more two-hundred scholars in digital 
humanities and social sciences disciplines in Germany. The work is 
organized in eight disciplinary working groups (Facharbeitsgruppen) and 
in thematic working groups that convene regularly in face-to-face and 
virtual meetings.  CLARIN-D further holds several yearly dissemination 
events at the national level and co-sponsors the annual European Summer 
University in Digital Humanities (ESU) at the University of Leipzig, to 
which it contributes course offerings taught by researchers of CLARIN-D 
centers.

- Relevant UI links on the clarin-d webpage include the following (since 
the primary target are humanities scholars in Germany, they are 
available in German and usually also in English):
