    The authors consider the existence of solutions for differential inclusions of the form \[ \begin{aligned} -\dot{x}(t) &\in \partial _{C}\phi (x(t))+G(t,x(t)),\\ x(0) &=x_0\end{aligned}\tag{1} \] in a real, separable Hilbert space \(H\), where \(\partial _{C}\) denotes the Clarke subdifferential. Throughout, it is assumed that there exists a regular function \(F:H\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) such that \(\phi -F\) is proper, convex and lower semicontinuous, and is inf-compact in \(H\), among other conditions. Assuming that \(G(t,x)\) \(=f(t)\), a single-valued \(L^{2}\) function, it is proven that (1) has a unique strong solution. \ Assuming \(G\) is convex, weakly compact set-valued, measurable in \(t\), upper semicontinuous in \(x\) and satisfies a linear growth condition, it is proven that (1) has a solution (Theorem 3.2). Existence is also proven in the case \(G\) is lower semicontinuous in \(x\) (Theorem 3.3). For the relaxed problem \[ \begin{aligned} -\dot{x}(t) &\in \partial _{C}\phi (x(t))+\text{ext }G(t,x(t)),\\ x(0) &=x_0\end{aligned}\tag{2} \] it is proven that a solution exists under the assumptions of Theorem 3.2, assuming also that \(G\) is closed valued and continuous in \(x\) (Theorem 4.1). Under the additional assumption that \(G\) is one-sided Lipschitz continuous, it is shown that \(\bar{S}_{e}=S\), where \(S_{e}\) is the solution set to (2) and \(S\) is the solution set to (1). The proofs are accomplished using tools such as the selection theorems due to Aumann, Fryszkowski and Tolstonogov, Schauder's fixed point theorem and an existence theorem of \textit{H. Attouch} and \textit{A. Damlamian} [Isr. J. Math 12, 373--390 (1972; Zbl 0243.35080)]. Finally, existence of solutions is demonstrated for two parabolic partial differential inclusions by applying Theorems 3.3 and 4.1 respectively.
