On 19 and 20 May, the annual Centre Meeting organized by CLARIN ERIC took place in Frankfurt in a hybrid format, gathering everyone involved in setting up and hosting CLARIN centres. The main focus of the meeting was to discuss the latest updates in technical infrastructure, with special attention dedicated to the development of CLARIN repositories and tools, security solutions, as well as the role of artificial intelligence and Large Language Models in resource searching and query generation.

The meeting also featured a Technical Centres Committee session, alongside several presentation slots and lightning talks.
