05 Oct '22

************************************************************** EAMT Sponsorship of Activities (Students' edition) for 2023 Deadline: 21/10/2022 ************************************************************** == Call for Proposals == The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) is an organisation that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and researchers of this increasingly viable technology. As part of its commitment to promote research, development and awareness about translation technologies, the EAMT is for the third consecutive year launching a call for proposals to fund MT-related activities led by students during 2023. == Purpose of the Call == The EAMT is planning to support various MT activities such as shared tasks, workshops, teaching and awareness initiatives, open-source initiatives, dataset creation and small research and development projects by its current student members. The EAMT particularly welcomes proposals from students in all levels of education, including undergraduates, postgraduates and PhD students. This call will also give priority to projects that extend work done during the Machine Translation Marathon 2022 (https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/events /mt-marathon-2022), being held in Prague, Czech Republic from 5 to 10 September 2022. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Recent developments in MT research. - MT evaluation methodology, metrics and results. - Launch of MT-specific evaluation campaigns. - New or prospective commercial users of MT technology. - MT environments (workflow, support tools, etc.). - Interaction between users and MT systems. - MT combined with other technologies (translation memories, speech translation, cross-language information retrieval, multilingual text categorization, multilingual text summarization, etc.). - MT for less-resourced languages: development, usage, etc. - MT in the social internet: new uses, new modes of development. - MT for crisis management. - Training events on MT, particularly on recent developments. - Events to disseminate MT, especially to the wider public (including shared tasks). - Creation of datasets for MT research. All proposals will be screened by a review committee that consists of EAMT Executive Committee members and possibly a few appointed external experts if necessary. == Submission information == * Eligibility requirements * In order to qualify for funding, the individual making the proposal must be a confirmed student member of the EAMT at submission time (Membership information: http://www.eamt.org/membership.php). Applicants will also need formal approval from their supervisor. It is important to emphasise that projects are expected to be student-led. Therefore, although we welcome projects showing collaboration with industry and other academic partners, the project is expected to directly benefit the students own career and/or project. * Selection criteria * - The proposed activity should be of direct interest to the MT community at large: researchers, developers, vendors, translators and/or users of MT technologies. - The proposal shall clearly describe the purpose of the project and include measurable mid-project milestones for which a report should be submitted (see below). - Preference will be given to projects which by nature will involve and be beneficial for several persons, as for instance conferences, seminars, workshops, shared tasks and tutorials. - Proposals with a significant, clearly identified impact on the MT community (through the development, dissemination or use of project results) are those most likely to be accepted. - Proposals that bring together different aspects of MT will be especially valued. - The proposal should be clearly justified as being technically and/or scientifically sound. - The quality and efficiency of the implementation of the proposal will be evaluated. - The budget should be adequate for the proposed objectives and the actual implementation of the activity. == Budget == EAMT anticipates funding several proposals for various activities. The total foreseen EAMT Budget for this call is around €4,000 to cover all granted projects. The maximum amount EAMT can grant for a single project will be €4,000. During the negotiation stage, budget adjustments may be required by the EAMT executive committee. This means that the EAMT may only offer to partially fund a project. A project being granted financial support by EAMT according to this call will receive 50% of the granted amount at the start of the project. The proposer will receive the remaining 50% when the mid-project progress report has been received by the EAMT Secretary and substantiates that the mid-project milestones are met, and furthermore provided that the proposer is still a current member of the EAMT. == Contact for enquiries == Carolina Scarton EAMT Secretary e-mail: c.scarton(a)sheffield.ac.uk == Submission procedure == * Overview * Candidates should submit their proposals as a single PDF file, written in English, that is composed of the elements described below. - Proposal description: 2-page maximum - Person/organisation experience: 1-page maximum - Budget and project planning overview: 1-page maximum - Supervisor's letter of approval: 1-page maximum Proposals should be submitted no later than the deadline (see Important Dates below) through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2023 (Submission type: Project Proposals).
