META-FORUM 2012: A Strategy for Multilingual Europe
June 20/21, Brussels, Belgium http://www.meta-forum.eu
Some spaces left in the R&D Exhibition!

*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION *

What would Europe be without its languages? The rich multiculturalism of 
Europe is synonymous not just with its many peoples, but with the 
languages they speak. These languages are precious assets which, in the 
modern Information Society need to be preserved, promoted and enabled 
through Language Technologies.

Through a focused and concerted effort the META-NET initiative 
(http://www.meta-net.eu) is working to promote Language Technologies as 
a means to turn Europe's linguistic diversity into Europe's linguistic 
opportunity.

You are invited to learn more about this work, to become actively 
involved and to represent your business/industry's view at META-FORUM 
2012: A Strategy for Multilingual Europe, June 20/21 2012 in Brussels, 
Belgium, http://www.meta-forum.eu.

*Highlights *

The program (http://www.meta-net.eu/events/meta-forum-2012/programme) 
includes presentations and panel discussions with representatives of 
Google, EFNIL, BBC, Airbus, several national language bodies (Germany, 
Malta, Estonia, Norway, Lithuania), the European Commission, among 
others. Research presentations give an overview of the current state of 
multilingual Language Technology in Europe. META-NET's open resource 
exchange facility META-SHARE and a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for 
multilingual Europe will be presented. The SRA for European LT will be 
of utmost importance in laying the foundation for the next decade of 
funding on the national and international level, especially with regard 
to the final stages of FP7 and the next Framework Programme starting in 
2014.
