[Userinvolvement] User Involvement Group in Aix - final call

[Martin Wynne]

Dear all,

We now have people signed up to attend the User Involvement Group 
meeting from the following countries:

  Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Portugal, Sweden, UK

We are hoping to have participation from all countries, so please sign 
up, or ask someone from your country to do so, if you haven't already. 
Sign up here:

(Google form)

Contributions of information about your user involvement activities are 
still welcome via the webform at 
https://www.clarin.eu/group-page/webform-submitting-user-involvement-activities. 
However, since we haven't had any contributions via this route recently, 
I have gathered what information I can find from monthly reports to the 
national coordinators' forum, and from national websites, and made a 
Google doc containing all information that I could find. The Google doc 
is here:

  User Involvement Round-up 2016 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/15h0MfSq9Nlih3ykwWWOPftrwX5A8E2bllRKk5vL76vQ/edit?usp=sharing>

Please edit this document to correct, update and add to the information 
there. I will also assemble and summarize information contributed via 
the webform or sent directly to me.

The information which we gather in the coming days will form the basis 
of the documentation for the Annual Conference and the Scientific 
Advisory Board. We will discuss further improvements to our 
information-gathering for the annual reporting at the meeting on 26 October.

The deadline for the first draft of the collection of user involvement 
information is the end of Friday this week (7th October). We will 
continue to collect information for the annual report after this date, 
but this is the deadline to guarantee inclusion of your data in 
documents for the annual conference.

The organization of the meeting in Aix-en-Provence will be the last 
action taken by me as I leave my role as Director for User Involvement. 
I'm sorry to be leaving, but very happy to be handing over to Darja 
Fišer, who will do an excellent job, and I am sure you will enjoy 
working with her. I will continue as national coordinator for the UK and 
continue to be in touch with you all.

Best wishes,
Martin
