“European Network for Combining Language Learning with Crowdsourcing Techniques” proposal got approved

“European Network for Combining Language Learning with Crowdsourcing Techniques”, a COST Action Proposal OC-2016-1-20642, of which UKP (Dr. Christian Meyer, Prof. Dr. Iryna Gurevych) is a member, has been approved.

The enCollect Action addresses the major European challenge of fostering the language skills of all citizens regardless of their diversified social, professional, and linguistic backgrounds. To this end, the Action is concerned with the domain of Language Learning and specifically focuses on enhancing the production of learning material in order to cope with the increasing demand for language learning material and the striking diversification of learner profiles. EnCollect will address this challenge by kick-starting a Research and Innovation (R&I) trend that combines the well-established domain of Language Learning with recent and successful crowdsourcing approaches in order to trigger an innovation breakthrough for the production of language learning material.
