• to offer a customized comprehensive service to academic and industrial users;
• to prepare and organize research and development projects focusing on translation aids, multilingual authoring systems and information retrieval;
• to provide a forum where experts from academia and industry could share and assess tools and resources, assess software, evaluate new trends, investigate alternative approaches and engage in joint activities;
• to make available the expertise of its partner institutions to the research community, to the public and to language industry.
