META-NET: A Network of Excellence forging Multilingual Europe Technology Alliance

META-NET is a Network of Excellence dedicated to the technological foundations of the European multilingual information society consisting of applications that

• enable communication and collaboration among people without language boundaries,
  
• secure users of any language equal access to the information and knowledge society, and
  
• include and push forward functionalities of networked information technology.
  

We are actively involved in this consortium that is coordinated by DFKI, Germany, and there are twelve additional founding members including Aalto University. The Kick-Off meeting is today (22nd of February, 2010). More information will be available at http://www.meta-net.eu.
