Start Date: 01/01/2025
End Date: 31/12/2028
Funding: Digital Europe Programme
Project Leader: Giagkou Maria, Piperidis Stelios

The ALT-EDIC4EU project aims to facilitate the development of robust, scalable infrastructure and operations for ALT-EDIC, in order to support the federation of the Language Technology (LT) ecosystem. Building on the expertise of nine core partners in LT infrastructures, data spaces, and Large Language Models (LLMs), the project focuses on creating a European center for LT evaluation, dynamically mapping the European LTs and LLMs landscape, and organizing training sessions, workshops, and events.

ALT-EDIC4EU addresses the need to strengthen Europe’s ecosystem around AI and LLMs, ensuring greater autonomy in data use and sharing, while preserving linguistic diversity and reducing dependence on non-European technologies.

The project will be running for 48 months with funding from the Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL-2024-AI-06 call).

ILSP will contribute to all project activities with a focus on the infrastructure deployment and mapping of the LT landscape.
