The ELSNET European Summer School on Language and Speech Communication is
one of the most successful annual training courses in Europe. For the year
2001 the topic of Text and Speech Corpora has been selected. The school
provides courses on the collection of data (text, speech, dialogue,
multimodal), validation, annotation, and use. State of the art techniques
and tools (hands-on experience included) will be presented by eminent
teachers. The target audience of the Summer School are advanced
undergraduate students, PhD students, postdocs and academic and industrial
researchers and developers.
GRANTS will be available from the EU Improving Human Potential programme
and will cover a substantial part of total costs for young European
researchers. Check the summer school homepage for the application details.
The ISCA grant scheme is open for applications related to this summer
school as well.
