What is Mink?
Språkbanken supports research by providing data and developing language technology analyses and research platforms. Mink lets you use those analyses and platforms for data resources that you create yourself.

Who can use Mink?
Anyone with an eduGAIN account can use that to login to Mink. This includes most people associated with a university or other academic institution. Other users can create an account at eduID which, itself, is connected to eduGAIN.
We are working toward offering a "demo version" that can be used without login.
