The National Relay Station, also known as Stáisiún Athsheachadta Náisiúnta na hÉireann, was created through the European Language Resources Infrastructure (ELRI Project) by researchers in the ADAPT Centre, which is located in Dublin City University. The ADAPT centre is ‘the world-leading SFI Research Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology”. The ELRI project ran from 2017-2019 and was co-funded by the European Commission under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme. The aim of ELRI was to develop robust infrastructures for gathering, preparing and providing language resources to improve Machine Translation engines (in particular the ones of the CEF eTranslation service).

In the context of a research project that focusses on building AI models for improving emergency call assistant systems, researchers found out that some emergency calls made in Germany were included in a TV program produced and showcased by a German broadcaster.

On 25 November, the 11th LRB Meeting took place via Zoom. Opened by Philippe Gelin, Head of Sector Multilingualism at the Data Directorate of DG Connect, the event gathered 70 participants, National Anchor Points and observers from the European Commission.
