SAFMORIL brings together linguists as well as researchers and developers in the area of computational morphology and its application during language processing. It operates as a distributed virtual centre supported by CLARIN member institutions: FIN-CLARIN: University of Helsinki and CSC, Finland; CLARINO: University of Tromsø, Norway, CLARIN-LV: Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Latvia and CLARIN-LT: Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania. The Tour de CLARIN article introduces to SAFMORIL as CLARIN K-centre. 

The CLARIN Annual conference 2020 took place from October 7 till October 9. This year the conference was organized as virtual event allowing to gather almost 500 registered participants, including 8 participants from Latvia.

During the conference the participants were introduced with CLARIN-LV repository, the language resources and tools in the repository and the SAFMORIL knowledge centre. The overview of  CLARIN-LV activities is summarized in the conference proceedings publication CLARIN in Latvia: From the Preparatory Phase to the Construction Phase and Operation.

On 5 March 2020 the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science organized conference "Digital Latvian Language Resources and Tools in Common Research Infrastructure". The conference attracted more than 40 participants from different universities and research centrs. During the conference representatives Krister Linden (University of Helsinki) and Kadri Vider (University of Tartu) shared their experience in the construction and use of CLARIN infrastructure while the Latvian researchers presented novel achievements in the development of digital language resources. The conferences ended with introduction on CLARIN-LV repository. Conference presentations are available from here.
