• CLIN (Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands): this website contains information on the upcoming CLIN conference and links to all previous conferences. The next CLIN (CLIN20) will be organized by Utrecht University and take place at the 5th of February 2010.
• LT4eL project: the website of the Language Technology for eLearning project (LT4eL). The LT4eL project uses multilingual language technology tools and semantic web techniques for improving the retrievability of learning material. The developed technology facilitates personalized access to knowledge within learning management systems and support decentralisation and co-operation in content management. The website contains several kinds of information about the project, such as tools, papers, presentations and demo films.
• LTfLL project: the LTfLL (Language Technologies for Lifelong Learning) project will create next-generation support and advice services to enhance individual and collaborative building of competences and knowledge creation in educational and organizational settings. The project makes extensive use of language technologies and cognitive models in the services.
• Computational Linguistics Colloquium: regular meetings on Thursdays at 14.00 in Utrecht. There are talks of 35 minutes followed by 25 minutes discussion. The aim is to provide an overview of current CL projects which are being carried out at Uil-OTS. Program and abstracts of talks are available on the website.
