Open(ing) language data 
Potential and challenges in interdisciplinary research practice

On the 16 of May 2023 the Faculty of Arts and the Digital Competence Centre invite researchers to come to the Harmonie building (collaboratory A) to exchange experiences, ideas and best practices on the collection, management, protection, publication and reuse of language data in a multi-disciplinary data round table.
