EUROMAP Language Technologies
- ------------------------------------------

Paris, France, 18th  January 2002 - We are pleased to announce that the
European Commission has selected ELDA (the European Language resources
Distribution Agency) to promote language engineering in France in the
framework of  EUROMAP Language Technologies (LT).

Since October 2001, ELDA is the French National Focal Point for the EUROMAP
LT project which aims to provide awareness, bridge-building and
market-enabling services to boost opportunities for market take-up of the
results of national and European HLT RTD projects. The key focus is on
accelerating the rate of technology transfer from the research base to the
market by creating communities of interest from established and emerging
players in the development and value chain.

The project is currently implemented by a team of eleven National Focal
Points in Austria, Belgium/Netherlands, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Italy,  Spain and United Kingdom.

Each NFP will draw on the skills and knowledge gained in previous HLT
awareness-raising actions to achieve the following objectives:
    * increase the number of projects that deliver ready-for-market results;
    * accelerate awareness of the benefits of HLT enabled systems, services
and applications within user sectors, policy makers and national
administrations;
    * boost the number of best-of-class technology developers participating
in research projects;
    * improve the relevance of project targets and technology supplier/user
needs;
    * improve the match between HLT design and supplier/end user
 expectations;
    * facilitate user partnerships and communities for beta testing,
demonstration, real-time utilisation monitoring and other close-to-market
application activities.
