Education and Outreach

The Centre for Next Generation Localisation aims to make a substantial contribution to communicate the excitement of computer science and localisation to the general public. A significant part of the Centre's outreach activities is targeted at promoting the understanding and appreciation of computer science and cultural issues by the general public.

Programme Aims

Primary Level: To create a greater awareness of multicultural / multilingual Ireland.

Second Level: To combat the decreasing interest in science and engineering using dynamics of language technologies and personalised content and to give teachers the opportunity to work as interns with researchers.

Third Level: To promote and educate students in cultural and linguistics challenges in localisation and personalisation and to encourage undergraduate students to pursue further education at postgraduate level.

Fourth Level: To promote partnerships between our students, researchers and industry.

Public Outreach: To highlight the areas of Computer Science, Language Technologies, Digital Content Management and Localisation and to show how this research can benefit the public.

Commercial and International Outreach: To foster close ties with localisation, language engineering and content management industries and to highlight CNGL and Ireland internationally as a leader in localisation.

CNGL Inreach: To foster a vibrant CNGL multidisciplinary research team and enable cross disciplinary education and collaboration.
