CLARIN SPF extended with France, Greece and CMU

All CLARIN service providers are now also accessible to academic users from France, Greece and Carnegie Mellon University (USA). Currently, 1581 identity providers are connected in total.

Successful migration of the CLARIN Identity Provider

Last week we successfully made the switch to the new CLARIN Identity Provider. There were some initial issues for users of Safari, but these have been addressed. The old Identity provider will remain available read-only for a short while, but we plan to disable it in the next couple of weeks.
