ELDA - Evaluations and Language resources Distribution Agency

The project of the creation of an organisation similar to the European Language Resources Association (ELRA) was initiated by ELRA & ELDA, to promote HLT in the Mediterranean countries and encourage research and development in this area.

The Mediterranean Language Technology Centre (MLTC) centre was officially launched at the end of year 2001. It is located in Rabat, Morocco, where a partner team has been set up.

Since its creation, MLTC has been working closely with ELRA & ELDA to handle every aspect related to the resources and processing of the Mediterranean languages, in the framework of some European and international projects. The centre will also be responsible for a number of other activities and tasks outsourced by ELRA & ELDA.

Thanks to the MLTC centre and our involvement in the various sectors covered by HLT, we expect to foster research and development in HLT for all the Mediterranean languages.
