The first annual ELG conference

META-FORUM 2019

Introducing the European Language Grid


Brussels, Belgium

Atomium Brussels

META-FORUM is the international conference series on powerful and innovative Language Technologies for the multilingual information society. It’s the place to be to learn about the most recent developments in European Language Technology industry and research including language-centric AI.

In addition to presentations and panel discussions, you can also look forward to an expo, where you will get to know the latest research and innovation projects.

This year’s META-FORUM will also offer the opportunity to take a look at the emerging European Language Grid platform. The system, whose original concept can be traced back to the META-NET Strategic Research Agenda for Multilingual Europe 2020, published in 2013, will be demonstrated at META-FORUM 2019 for the very first time.
