The start of CELAN

The CELAN project, a network under LLP KA2 "Languages" started officially on 1 January 2011, with a duration of 24 months. The project’s principal objective is to facilitate a dialogue in the language field between the business community and language practitioners. The project activities include:

• Research on linguistic needs of European companies/SMEs in different sectors
• Analysis of existing language-related services and tools
• Development of on-line applications to support the language needs of business users

A strong and broad consortium - all members of the Business Platform for Multilingualism or linked to a member (for the partners' list, scroll down) - will engage in dissemination and awareness raising activities to guarantee a Europe-wide reach-out.
