The EXPERT (EXPloiting Empirical appRoaches to Translation) Initial Training Network (ITN) involves nine research centers from six countries, coordinated by University of Wolverhampton (UK). Its grant funding amounts to approximately four million Euro for four years and funds 12 PhD students and 3 postdocs. Two PhD students will be recruited at the ILLC under supervision of Dr. Khalil Sima'an (Language and Computation).

The EXPERT ITN offers a combination of winter/summer schools, workshops, short visits and courses for early stage researchers on the topic of Machine Translation. Besides supervision at their home institute, every PhD student is partially co-supervised by an established researchers at a second research institute and is planned to spend brief research visits at other research sites.
