Service Providing Centre
The backbone of CLARIN is provided by technical centres, in particular Service Providing Centres or CLARIN B-centres, for short. These centres can host the tools and resources that consortium members have created, and ensure their longevity beyond the project lifetime.
For Belgium, the CLARIN B-centre is the Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal (INT). Visit INT’s CLARIN portal at https://portal.clarin.ivdnt.org/
Knowledge Centres
CLARIN Knowledge Centres (K-centres) are a cornerstone of the CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure, one of the main components ensuring a continuous transfer of knowledge between all players involved in the construction, operation and use of the infrastructure.

CLARIN-ELEXIS: Knowledge Centre for Lexicography
The CLARIN-ELEXIS Knowledge Centre for Lexicography offers expertise and support in using open-access data, tools and services for lexicographers
Knowledge Centre on Large Language Models for Social Sciences and Humanities
The Knowledge Centre on Large Language Models for Social Sciences and Humanities is a centre of expertise, skills and technological resources offering advice on various applications of LLMs in processing language data and on expansion and adaptation of LLMs to the needs of SS&H researchers and their tasks. The Centre will also offer help in finding and selecting LLMs appropriate for the needs of researchers, support users in accessing computational resources (within the limits of resources at the disposal of the Centre members), as well as, collect and share knowledge about the existing LLMs (e.g. by collecting meta-data in VLO or evaluation actions). CLARIN-BE is a partner in this distributed knowledge centre.
