Back at the end of 2020, we talked about a challenging year, and hoped that 2021 would bring a return to normality. And indeed: we have just left a very special year behind us – well, just maybe in a rather different way than we thought. Of course, we cannot deny that the pandemic had an impact on our activities, because we would have loved to meet our community face-to-face instead of virtually. And yet we can proudly say that the "new paths" we had to take also opened up new opportunities for us.

After the winter break and with renewed energy, ELRC is focusing on many exciting projects for 2022.

Only a few days for Christmas, from lighting candles, decorating Christmas trees and baking special cookies, all Christmas traditions are in full swing across all the EU countries and regions. We want to take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful and relaxing Christmas time and happy, healthy holidays!

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).
