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

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.
