Press release
=====================================

*** Non European organisations may become subscribers to ELRA now ***

ELRA (European Language Resources Association), a non-profit association
registered in Luxembourg, was established in 1995. Its mission is to promote
the development and exploitation of Language Resources (monolingual and
multilingual lexica, text corpora, speech databases and terminology) within
the Language Engineering field. ELRA receives financial support from the
European Commission and national governments in Europe. Although its prime
focus is on Europe, ELRA also seeks active cooperation and exchange of
resources with the global Language Resources community.

As part of its policy of opening up its impressive catalogue of Language
Resources to research and commercial organizations outside its core
operating area, ELRA is pleased to announce that during its meeting on April
30 1997, the Board decided to extend the opportunity to become an ELRA
subscriber (non-voting member) to non-European organizations.

Subscribers will benefit from substantial discounts on the prices of
Language Resources similar to those offered to ELRA members, as well as
other services available only to members. This includes discounts on
publications related to Language Engineering activities (produced by the
major publishers), summaries of market surveys (about LR and LE), newsletter
(published quarterly in English and French), legal consultancy regarding
IPR, copyrights, etc., manuals for the validation of LRs, special pages on
the Web, entitled "For members only".

The annual subscription fees are:
o non-profit organizations: 1,000 ECU,
o for-profit (commercial) organizations: 5,000 ECU.

To become a subscriber:
o non profit organisations have to pay a subscription fee of 1,000 ECU
o profit organisations have to pay 5,000 ECU

The subscription form can be completed directly from the one below or it can
be downloaded from the ELRA Web site.
