Second European Seminar
Language Applications for a Multilingual EuropeKaunas, LithuaniaApril 17 - 20, 1997Under the Patronage of the European Commission |
LOCATION
The seminar was held in Kaunas, Lithuania's second largest city, one of the most architecturally admired and well-preserved Eastern European cities. There are numerous museums, a modern pedestrian shopping area, and many delights for music, theatre, and art lovers.
AIMS OF THE SECOND EUROPEAN SEMINAR
One goal of the Second European Seminar was to acquaint Western experts with the resources, potentials, and capacities available at Central and Eastern Europe language research and technology institutions. Here you find quality expertise at very competitive conditions. Our partners offer you the support you need, give you the service you are looking for, and make sure that your application is on the cutting edge.
The second goal was to stimulate cooperation between language industry in the West and in Central and Eastern Europe. In these countries, we find an amazing number of small, and medium-sized software houses, translation bureaus, and publishers with excellent performance records. They are the ideal partners for software localisation and the development of multilingual applications.
TELRI and the Second European Seminar: Language Applications for a Multilingual Europe offer custom-tailored solutions to your problems, in addition to a presentation of the current state of the art of language engineering. Please fill in the brief questionnaire on the online registration form, and our experts will invite you to a free consultation session to offer guidance and support for your project. The pan-European TELRI Network will help you to find the resources, tools, and partners you need!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The Second European Seminar: Language Applications for a Multilingual Europe is addressed to linguistic software developers, publishing houses, terminology providers, translation services, and dictionary publishers--that is, to anyone who sees multilingual applications as a keystone to a trans-national information society.
To ensure an ideal working atmosphere, only 40 participants will be accepted. Our team of experts and the guest speakers will be present to discuss all topics of interest with you individually.
TELRI, the Trans-European Language Resources Infrastructure, is a network of leading academic language technology institutions all over Europe (including the former Soviet Union). Its goal is to provide service (theoretical input, linguistic data, and computational solutions) for the development of multilingual language technology applications. It is a Concerted Action in the framework of the COPERNICUS Programme of the European Commission. TELRI is coordinated by Wolfgang Teubert at the Institut für deutsche Sprache in Mannheim, Germany.
