‘Language in the Human-Machine Era’ (https://lithme.eu/) is a COST Action (https://cost.eu/). We are delighted to welcome applications for our STSM grants. An STSM is one of COST’s standard networking activities, for an individual to visit a host organization located in a different country than their country of affiliation, to gain and share knowledge.

Eligibility follows the COST Association’s rules: basically anyone in a European country or ‘Near Neighbour’ country – https://www.cost.eu/about/cost-strategy/cost-global-networking/ (although please note COST is removing Russia from that list).

We are looking for people who know about language but not so much about technology, and vice versa, and who want to gain and share knowledge across those academic boundaries. Moreover, we want to fund visits that will pursue our goals to produce new insights on the effects of new and emerging language technologies. More information about our themes and interests can be found on our Working Groups page (https://lithme.eu/working-groups) and in our open access forecast report (https://doi.org/10.17011/jyx/reports/20210518/1). Referring to both these resources will increase the quality of any application.

Further information about eligibility, and the online application form, can be found at http://lithme.eu/short-term-scientific-missions/ and http://lithme.eu/news/STSM2022. The deadline for applications is 15 March 2022.
