Several other K-Centres are in the pipeline or planned, and the KSIC is intensifying its efforts to install more K-Centres and other planned aspects of the .
Have you considered to have your centre recognized as a CLARIN K-centre, either on your own or together with other partners (possibly in other countries)? You can do so with not too much effort, and you can do so even if you are not active in CLARIN yet, and even if you are not in a CLARIN member country. For more information, have a look at the page on knowledge centres, in particular the instructions for applicants. It is also possible for an institution to join an existing distributed K-centre as one more partner if you have expertise in the same area.
