Bergen Advanced Training Site in Multilingual Tools (BATMULT) 

Marie Curie Training Site

http://www.hit.uib.no/batmult/

BATMULT facilitates short stays (3 to 12 months) at the site by young
researchers pursuing doctoral studies in computational approaches to
multilingual resources, tools for multilingual processing, language
learning and language interaction modeling. The site at the University of
Bergen is established through support from the European Union's 5th
Framework Programme for Research, "Improving Human Research Potential and
the Socio-economic Knowledge Base", Marie Curie Host Fellowship scheme.

BATMULT consists of closely interrelated research units working together
to offer interdisciplinary training in multilingual resources and tools,
with special reference to the Scandinavian languages and their interaction
with other European languages. The training site provides training through
courses, project work and individual supervision. The site is open to:

    * fellows doing a PhD in computational linguistics, especially with
      reference to multilinguality and Scandinavian languages;
    * fellows in computer science who work on language applications and
      who wish to extend and deepen their linguistic knowledge;
    * fellows with linguistics, human sciences or social sciences
      background who wish to study the role of management of
      multilinguality and text encoding. 

Applications will be received and evaluated continuously, but students who
wish to arrive at the beginning of the spring term of 2004 should send in
their application before November 1, 2003.
