CLARIN is a European Research Infrastructure providing access to language resources and technologies for researchers in the humanities and social sciences. It supports the study of language data in general and aims to increase the potential for comparative research of cultural and societal phenomena across the boundaries of languages. This paper outlines the CLARIN vision and strategy, and it explains how the design and implementation of CLARIN are compliant with the FAIR principles: findability, accessibility, interoperability and re- usability of data. The paper also explains the approach of CLARIN towards the enabling of responsible data science. Attention is paid to (i) the development of measures for increasing the transparency and explainability of the results from applying CLARIN technologies, in particular in the context of multidisciplinary research, and (ii) stimulating the uptake of its resources, tools and services by the various communities of use, all in accordance with the principles for Open Science.
