                   ANNOUNCING CALL FOR PROPOSALS

    [If you would like to receive a copy of the call for proposals
by e-mail, please contact Jeff ALLEN <jeff at elda.fr>]

    The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) invites
proposals for the first of a series of calls for the
(co-)production and packaging of Language Resources (LRs), open to
companies and academic organisations that comply with eligibility
conditions provided below.

    ELRA is planning to commission the production, packaging
and/or customisation of speech and written LRs needed by the
Language Engineering (LE) community, and is inviting applications
for production and/or packaging/repackaging projects, which could
be eligible for funding from ELRA. The purpose of the call is to
ensure that necessary resources are developed in an acceptable
framework (in terms of time and legal conditions) by the LE
players. This call is targeted towards projects with short time
scales (projects lasting up to one year but preferably shorter)
and the size of the funding will be considerably small. The ELRA
funding is to be seen as effective and useful for producers being
both tactical in their aims for the targeted market, which means
that they do know all about the needs on the specific market,
and strategic with regard to what to produce in order to fulfil
these needs.

    In order to qualify for funding eligibility under the European
Commission 4th Programme, the institution(s) making the proposal
must belong to one of the European Union Member States, or be in
Liechtenstein, Iceland or Norway.

    It is preferred that proposals not exceed 100,000 ECU.  ELRA
hopes to fund several proposals.

                      Timetable of deadlines:

Announcement of the Call: 8 February 1999
Submission deadline for proposals: 19 March 1999
Notification of reception of proposals before 26 March 1999
Acceptance notifications and negotiations to start on the 5th
April 1999

                               NOTE:

    Only complete proposals will be reviewed. Should you have
further questions, please contact Jeff ALLEN at the ELDA/ELRA
office for details before 1 March 1999.
