Research networks created as part of consortia, partnership projects and multilateral scientific cooperation are a significant tool for facing European and global research challenges. Participation of the University of Lodz in the international networks allows for cooperation with the leading scientific and industrial partners from European and non-European countries and regions.

University of Lodz is a member of CLARIN-PL consortium – the Polish part of the pan-European scientific infrastructure CLARIN - Common Language Resources and Technology Infrastructure [link www.clarin.eu], which includes digital archives of texts and tools for their automatic analysis.
CLARIN is a part of the European Roadmap for Research Infrastructure (ESFRI - European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures). It is to provide advanced research tools in the field of text and speech analysis for the broadly understood humanities and social sciences.
CLARIN-PL consortium consists of Polish universities and research institutes, where repositories of written and spoken texts in Polish as well as their equivalents in other languages are created. The aim of the consortium is to fill the gap in the field of adaptation of language technologies to Polish, to enable access to rich resources in Polish, visible from any point in Europe, to encourage research taking into consideration Polish-language materials and to promote Polish language and culture in Europe and all over the world.
As part of the project various programmes are created. They will be helpful in, among others, determining authorship of anonymous texts, determining a psychological profile of an author, automatic summarizing, extracting knowledge and information form texts as well as studying connections in business, politics and science.

European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a research network funding organisation known as COST Actions. These networks offer an open space for cooperation between researchers from all over Europe (and beyond it) and simultaneously provide an incentive for research and innovation. Below you can find a list of projects in their original wording along with the names of scientists from the University of Lodz that are involved in them.
