is well under way, and the outline can be seen here:

We are still looking for nominations for participants to this event. 
Please get in touch first with your national coordinator before Tuesday 
23rd February if you have suggestions.

As you know, this is only the first of a series of workshops, and we 
need your input to help us put together the content. Each workshop 
focusses on activity around a particular data type, and forthcoming 
themes are newspaper collections, parliamentary records and social 
media. Please contribute your suggestions for people, research projects, 
resources and tools  to the following group discussion page:

** Researching migration **

We would like to investigate the possibilities for engaging in a number 
of activities all relating to the theme of 'migration'. Please add any 
information that you have about research activities, resources and tools 
relevant to this topic as comments to the following group discussion page:

** Gathering information about user involvement **

Please don't forget that we have a webform for gathering information 
about user involvement activities, to help us to have a Europe-wide 
picture of what is going on. Submit details of your events, projects and 
other activities here:

https://www.clarin.eu/group-page/webform-submitting-user-involvement-activities

** Mailing list and group web pages **

If you would like us to add or remove anyone from your country to this 
mailing list, please let me know. Also, in order to access the user 
involvement group webpages, you need to be added to the group, so please 
let me know if you want to be added. Anyone active in CLARIN is welcome 
to be added to the group.
