Description
The primary goal of ELE is to prepare the European Language Equality Programme, in the form of a strategic research, innovation and implementation agenda as well as a roadmap for achieving full digital language equality in Europe by 2030. The Consortium aims to address and solve the crucial topic of digital language equality by: creating more public visibility – for the topic, for the consortium, and for the LT community; strengthening the European Language Grid, as well as the relationship with the European AI community, and helping to establish LT and language-centric AI in the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programme.
The project is coordinated by ADAPT Centre (Dublin City University) and comprises five core partners (DCU, DFKI Berlin, Charles University Prague, ILSP Athens, and the University of the Basque Country, Donostia), Language Technology Expertise from 9 networks, associations and initiatives, 9 companies and 30 research organisations. Together this consortium of 53 partners from all over Europe will drive the strategic research,innovation and deployment agenda to achieve digital language equality in Europe by 2030.
