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

[Fišer, Darja]

Dear Erhard, dear all,

thank you very much for the information on the national UI contacts you have provided. I am also happy to inform you that I have prepared the User Involvement Action Plan for 2017 which now has gone through the Board of Directors and will be on the agenda for the next NCF meeting in January. We plan to share it with the UI group shortly after. A part of the Action Plan is the preparation of a User Involvement Strategy for CLARIN. This will be taking into account the existing User Involvement Handbook and will leave room for country-specific strategies and activities. Once drafted, the strategy too will be shared with the UI group and the NCF for suggestions and comments.

Happy holidays and best wishes to everyone,

Darja Fišer

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

Here is the info you requested:

- The representative’s name and contact info

Prof. Dr. Erhard Hinrichs, National Coordinator of CLARIN-D
Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen

deputy:

Jennifer Koritko
Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen

- His or her photograph

will send you in a separate email

- 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):
