Each country should prepare a brief presentation (in English) of language technology (a) PhD education and arrangements, (b) education for Master's degree studies, (c) research organisations. Preferably, the presentation should be available several days before the meeting and readable through the net. Please, pass me either links to such web pages or send me appropriate text so that I can distribute it among teh participants.

The meeting room (seminar room 331 third floor) is equipped with a computer running borh Linux and Windows, and a video projector, and an overhead projector as well. The computer is connected to the Internet so one can show web pages.
