THE EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR MACHINE TRANSLATION  
                     (EAMT)  
  
What is the EAMT?  
  
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT)
is an organization which serves the growing community
of people interested in MT and translation tools,
including users, developers, and researchers of this
increasingly viable technology.

The EAMT is one of three regional associations of the
International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT),
which counts a large number of members worldwide. The
EAMT is the only organization of its kind in Europe.  
  
  
Five reasons you should join the EAMT

1. Conferences and Workshops

Every two years, the IAMT organizes the MT Summit,
a unique conference dedicated to the world of
translation technology that alternates between
Europe, North America, and Japan. In 1995, the
MT Summit was held in Luxembourg; in 1997, it took
place in San Diego, California; in 1999, it will
be in Singapore. In years when the Summit is not
being held in Europe, the EAMT organizes an annual
workshop on some facet of MT, sometimes in conjunction
with another event. EAMT members can attend IAMT-
sponsored events at reduced rates.

2. Expertise and networking

The EAMT is an excellent way to learn more about
the practical aspects of MT. MT is still an imperfect
technology and its members have a lot of collective
wisdom to share about the use of MT in working
environments. Through the EAMT, you may be able to
reach people who have "been there before."

3. MT News International  

Together with its sister associations, the EAMT
publishes a lively and informative newsletter,
MT News International, three times a year. It 
includes news of upcoming events, reports from 
previous events, company and product news, and 
updates of research developments. In short, MTNI
is an excellent source of information on the
world of MT.

4. Other publications

The IAMT regularly produces publications which
are available to members at reduced rates, such
as conference proceedings, a directory of MT
systems and a "yellow-pages" of the members of the
MT Community.

5. Bibliographic service

The EAMT offers a bibliographic service to its
members. For a nominal amount, members can order
photocopies of articles on MT from a wide range
of publications in the EAMT archives.
