=============================
The Anthony C. Clarke Award for
the 2020 EAMT Best Thesis
=============================
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT, http://www.eamt.org)
is an organization that serves the growing community of people interested
in MT and translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and
researchers of this increasingly viable technology.
The EAMT invites entries for its ninth EAMT Best Thesis Award for a PhD or
equivalent thesis on a topic related to machine translation.
Previous year winners can be found at http://www.eamt.org/best_thesis.php.
== Eligibility ==
Researchers who
- have completed a PhD (or equivalent) thesis on a relevant topic in a
European, Northern African or Middle Eastern institution within calendar
year 2020,
- have not previously won another international award for that thesis, and,
- are members of the EAMT at the time of submission,
are invited to submit their theses to the EAMT for consideration.
== Panel ==
The submissions will be judged by a panel of experts who will be
specifically appointed as part of the EAMT 2021 programme committee and
which will be ratified by the Executive Board of the EAMT.
== Selection criteria ==
Each thesis will be judged according to how challenging the problem was, to
how relevant the results are for machine translation as a field, and to the
strength of their impact in terms of scientific publications.
== Scope ==
The scope of the thesis does not need to be confined to a technical area,
and applications are also invited from students who carried out their
research into commercial and management aspects of machine translation.
Possible areas of research include:
- development of machine translation or advanced computer-assisted
translation: methods, software or resources
- machine translation for less-resourced languages
- the use of these systems in professional environments (freelance
translators, translation agencies, localisation, etc.)
- the increasing impact of machine translation on non-professional Internet
users and its impact in communications, social networking, etc.
- spoken language translation
- the integration of machine translation and translation memory systems
- the integration of machine translation software in larger IT applications
- the evaluation of machine translation systems in real tasks such as those
above
- the cross-fertilisation between machine translation and other language
technologies
== Prize ==
The winner will be announced at the same time as accepted papers for the
EAMT 2021: the 23nd Annual Conference of the European Association for
Machine Translation (venues and dates to be announced), and will receive a
prize of ?500, together with an inscribed certificate. The recipient of the
award will be required to briefly present their research at EAMT 2021. In
order to facilitate this, the EAMT will waive the winner's registration
costs, and will make available a travel bursary of ?200 to enable the
recipient of the award to attend the said conference. The prize includes
complimentary membership in the EAMT for 2021 and 2022.
== Submission ==
Candidates will submit using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eamt2021 (Submission type: Thesis
Award), a single PDF file containing:
- a 2-page summary of your thesis in English, containing:
--- your full contact details,
--- the name and contact details of your supervisor(s),
- a copy of your CV in English (at most one page, plus a complete list of
publications directly related to the thesis)
- an electronic copy of your thesis
- optionally, an appendix with any other relevant information on the thesis
By submitting their work, authors
- agree that, in case they are granted the award, any subsequently
published version of the thesis should carry the citation "The Anthony C.
Clarke Award for the 2020 EAMT Best Thesis" and
- acknowledge the right of the EAMT to publicize the granting of the award.
For this year Best Thesis Award we are requiring candidates to be an
individual EAMT member at the time of submission. For EAMT memberships,
please visit: http://www.eamt.org/membership.php.
== Closing date ==
The closing date for submissions will be the same as the deadline for EAMT
2021 research papers (to be announced).

Activities

=============================
EAMT Sponsorship of Activities
Deadline: October 16, 2020, 23:59 CEST
=============================
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) is an organization
that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and
translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and
researchers of this increasingly viable technology.
As part of its commitment to promote research, development and awareness
about translation technologies, the EAMT is for the tenth consecutive year
launching a call for proposals to fund MT-related activities during 2021.
== Purpose of the Call ==
The EAMT is planning to support various MT activities such as tutorials,
workshops, teaching and awareness initiatives, open-source initiatives, and
small research and development projects by its current members.
The EAMT particularly encourages proposals from early career researchers.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Recent developments in MT research.
- MT evaluation methodology, metrics and results.
- Launch of MT-specific evaluation campaigns.
- New or prospective commercial users of MT technology.
- MT environments (workflow, support tools, etc.).
- Interaction between users and MT systems.
- MT combined with other technologies (translation memories, speech
translation, cross-language information retrieval, multilingual text
categorization, multilingual text summarization, etc.).
- MT for less-resourced languages: development, usage, etc.
- MT in the social internet: new uses, new modes of development.
- MT for crisis management.
- Training events on MT, particularly on recent developments.
- Events to disseminate MT, especially to the wider public.
All proposals will be screened by a review committee that consists of EAMT
Executive Committee members and possibly a few appointed external experts
if necessary.
== Eligibility requirements ==
In order to qualify for funding, the institution(s) or the individual
making the proposal must be a confirmed member of the EAMT at submission
time.
Membership information: http://www.eamt.org/membership.php
== Selection criteria ==
- The proposed activity should be of direct interest to the MT community at
large: researchers, developers, vendors translators and users of MT
technologies.
- The proposal shall clearly describe the purpose of the project and
include measurable mid-project milestones for which a report should be
submitted (see below).
- Preference will be given to projects which by nature will involve and be
beneficial for several persons, as for instance conferences, seminars,
workshops and tutorials.
- Proposals with a significant, clearly identified impact on the MT
community (through the development, dissemination or use of project
results) are those most likely to be accepted.
- Proposals that bring together different aspects of MT will be especially
valued.
- The proposal should be clearly justified as being technically and/or
scientifically sound.
- The quality and efficiency of the implementation of the proposal will be
evaluated.
- The budget should be adequate for the proposed objectives and the actual
implementation of the activity.
== Budget ==
EAMT anticipates funding several proposals for various activities. There
are two categories of proposals. The member institutions? category and the
individual members? category.
The total foreseen EAMT Budget for this call is around ?10,000 to cover all
granted projects. The maximum amount EAMT can grant for a single project
will be ?10,000. During the negotiation stage, budget adjustments may be
required by the EAMT executive committee. This means that the EAMT may only
offer to partially fund a project.
A project being granted financial support by EAMT according to this call
will receive 50% of the granted amount at the start of the project. The
proposer will receive the remaining 50% when the mid-project progress
report has been received by the EAMT Secretary and substantiates that the
mid-project milestones are met, and furthermore provided that the proposer
is still a current member of the EAMT.
