In less than one week, representatives from research and industry will meet for META-FORUM 2021 – and ELRC will be part of it! The fully virtual event takes place between 15 and 17 November 2021 and focuses on “powerful and innovative Language Technology for the multilingual information society”.

According to the Report of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs on Citizens’ dialogues and Citizens’ participation in the EU decision-making, a considerable part of the European population is not satisfied with the way EU democracy works and even tends to distrust the EU institutions.

From August until early November, our social media series “Did you know that…?” gave the ELRC community a sneak peek of the findings from our latest workshops, including facts about national developments related to language technology, data collection and digitisation. Now that we gave you some content to impress your colleagues during the coffee chats and that you know, for instance, that Language Technology is one of the three key development areas in the new draft strategy of the Estonian Language, it’s time for us to go back to the roots.
