The department of Computer science at Gothenburgh University will be organizing a summer school on Grammatical Framework Resource Grammars. NGSLT-students attending the summer school may aply on the Other Activity Form for reimbursement, specifying the travel and stay expenses, since there will be no lectures, only work on distance during the spring. Please contact the organizer of the summer school Aarne Ranta and decide on the forms of examination before the application.

SLTC (the first Swedish national language technology conference) will be held in Göteborg 27th-28th Oct 2006 and funding is available to attend both the conference and associated NGSLT meetings. Students with NGSLT status may apply for funding if they are giving a paper, poster or demo at the conference. In addition we are planning that there will be a student representative meeting and a board meeting in Göteborg on the Monday after the conference (30th Oct) and we will provide funding for student representatives of the participating countries to attend the student meeting (as well as the conference if they wish) and similarly for the student representatives on the Board. You should follow the normal procedures for reimbursement. Queries should be addressed to info at ngslt.org.
Applications forms will be available for courses as they are announced. Students will be informed about acceptance and funding for courses lasting the whole semester by 30th April and one month before course start for short courses.

The NGSLT Board has now decided that all courses in the GSLT and KIT graduate schools as well as other suitable courses taught at NGSLT institutions will be made available for NGSLT funding. Information about courses available under this new arrangement will be collected here as we receive it. We hope that this will provide a good overview of graduate courses being offered in language technology in the NGSLT countries.
