In this context we would like to inform you about the Language
Technology (LT) Days organised by Unit INFSO.E1 - Language
Technologies and Machine Translation, on 22-23 March 2010 in
Luxembourg.

This event builds on the successful conference held in January 2009,
which attracted some 250 participants. It aims at bringing together
written and spoken language researchers, developers and professionals,
cutting across different themes and EU funding programmes.

The LT Days will also feature a presentation of the main R&D topics
for the next round of implementation of the FP7 ICT programme from
mid-2010 onward, together with a tentative schedule for future calls
in the field of language technologies.

A number of themed sessions are planned as well. They will bring
together the representatives of major initiatives and European R&D
consortia involved in three main areas of work, namely Language
Resources, Machine Translation, and Evaluation.

The LT Days will take place in the conference complex of the Jean
Monnet building in Luxembourg. Participation is free of charge but
subject to prior registration and confirmation.  Please do not make
any definite travel arrangements until your participation has been
confirmed.

Registration will open in early January and close on 26 February but
if you wish you can already pre-register by sending a mail with LT
Days in the subject line to our functional mailbox
infso-e1 at ec.europa.eu.

Further details, including the registration form, the final agenda and
list of speakers, will be published in early January on:
