GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Building on the results of the first pilot project, in particular the developed SRIA, the specific objectives of this pilot project are the following:

• to maintain and further define the strategic research and implementation agenda for achieving full digital language equality in Europe by 2030 developed in the first pilot project funded on the basis of 2020 work programme. In particular, the project should define a prioritised list of missing language resources and/or tools for each language covered which are needed to improve the technological support for this language;
• to strengthen the engagement and dissemination effort towards stakeholders who can contribute to or benefit from the developed agenda. In particular, the project should liaise with all relevant stakeholders through public consultations and on-going dialogues with view to maintaining and refining the agenda;
• to document stakeholder commitment to the implementation of the agenda. In particular, the project should engage with the relevant policy-making bodies and funding agencies, research, industry and user stakeholders on European, national and regional level to document their interest and commitment in engaging own resources in the development and a later usage/uptake of specific language resources and/or tools;
• to provide incentives to stakeholders in user industries to implement language technologies based on the SRIA. In particular, the project can provide financing to third parties for elaboration of feasibility studies for concrete LT implementations, the preparation of bestpractices/guidelines for LT deployment for concrete scenarios or for actual deployment of LT for a specific end-user, if these are aligned with the SRIA and help demonstrate the feasibility of specific agenda items.
