CLARIN ERIC (CLARIN European Research Infrastructure Consortium) is the Governance and Coordination Body of CLARIN.
Its main task is to build, manage, coordinate and maintain the CLARIN Infrastructure.
Its members are national governments or intergovernmental organizations.
It was established with the financial support of the European Commission via the CLARIN preparatory phase project (Grant Agreement No. FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2007-212230 | 01/01/2008-30/06/2011), but is now fully funded by the countries participants.
