Affiliation

PolMine is affiliated with the NRW School of Governance at the Institute of Political Science (Department of the Social Sciences, University of Duisburg-Essen). A special thanks goes to the IT of the Department of Social Sciences. We are grateful for the outstanding and unfailing support of Anita Born, Marius Bertram and Florian Böhm!

Network

The PolMine Project could not evolve without being part of collaborative networks and a family of related projects. Most importantly, PolMine is a registered category-C centre in the European CLARIN network. The GermaParl corpus is part of the resource family of parliamentary corpora of CLARIN. We have contributed actively to the ParlCLARIN workshops at Sofia (2017) and Marseille (2020) and at the LREC conference in Miyazaki, Japan (2018).
