CLUNL

Rute Costa, a researcher in CLUNL’s LLT group, is the leader of the European Master in “Linguistic Data Science” (LDS), that has now been approved for funding by the European Union, for a period of 74 months, through the ERASMUS+ program.

The consortium is made up of the following institutions:
NOVA University Lisbon, Rute Costa (project leader)
Univesità Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Marco Passarotti
University of Galway, John McCrae
Universidad Zaragoza, Jorge Gracia del Rio

The LDS master has three different objectives:
. to increase the competitiveness of Linguistics as a discipline, by firmly linking it to the shifting demands of the academic and professional job market, specifically the growing need for accurate, accessible, and inspiring engagement with the possibilities of Computer Science and Data Science;
. to strengthen LDS as an educational and research field, given its cross-disciplinary framework and cutting-edge nature, aiming to respond to contemporary social and technological challenges;
. to equip students with the methodological and critical instruments to assess fundamental technical, ethical and political implications of the LDS at the local, regional, European and global levels.

A website with all the relevant information is being finalized.
