Information and Communication Technologies theme under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7 ICT)
The FP7 ICT Framework Programme is updated every two years and defines the priorities for the calls for proposals to be launched. In recognition of the importance of languages in the digital age, the Work Programme 2011-2012 has a specific challenge "Technologies for Digital Content and Languages". It aims to make online content accessible for all, for citizens and businesses alike.
Challenge 4: Technologies for Digital Content and Languages
Challenge 4 focuses on managing digital content and the knowledge contained therein. It aims to do this by making access to online content easy and reliable for all, whether on an inter-personal or business-to-business level. The Challenge aims to bridge language barriers by allowing information access, communication and collaboration in your own language. It also addresses the problems of the ever growing amount of data and how to analyse and deal with it effectively and accurately.
There are two objectives in Challenge 4 and two respective calls which are relevant to these topics:
