Organized by the COMMUNITAS European Project, in which FBK is a partner, the event provided an opportunity to assess ongoing research activities and share the initial experiences developed in the valley.

FBK is involved in the project with a team of computational linguistics experts from the Digital Society Centre, led by researcher Sara Tonelli.
