The LaRI Research Group participates in the Italian nodes of two research infrastructures of pan-European interest identified by ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) and classified as ESFRI Landmarks SSH RI in the ESFRI Roadmap 2016: CLARIN and DARIAH.
- CLARIN-IT
CLARIN-IT is the Italian node of CLARIN (Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure), whose grand vision it shares.
