Dear all,
This year, the CLASSLA knowledge centre for South Slavic languages https://www.clarin.si/info/k-centre/is organizing the CLASSLA-Express workshop series https://www.clarin.si/info/k-centre/workshops/classla-express/: six workshops in 5 countries designed to demonstrate the practical applications of the CLASSLA web corpora https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.12721in language research. The first two workshops have already taken place in Zagreb and Rijeka - see the report on how well it went https://www.clarin.si/info/k-centre/workshops/#Report_from_the_first_two_stops_of_CLASSLA-Express_Zagreb_and_Rijeka- and the registration for the May workshop in Belgrade is now closed as we have already reached the maximum capacity.
We are very happy to announce that since the start of the series, we have added an additional stop to the workshop series: in June, we will also visit Sofia (Bulgaria) at the International CLaDA-BG Conference 2024 https://clada-bg.eu/en/dissemination/events/international-clada-bg-conference-2024.html, which was arranged in collaboration with the CLaDa-BG https://clada-bg.eu/research infrastructure, a member of the CLASSLA knowledge centre.
