The general aim of PARSEME is increasing and enhancing the ICT support of the European multilingual heritage.

This aim is pursued via more detailed objectives:

• (outreach) to put multilingualism in focus of linguistic and technological studies,
• (networking) to establish a long-lasting cross-lingual, cross-theoretical and cross-methodological research network in natural language processing (NLP),
• (scientific) to bridge the gap between linguistic precision and computational efficiency in NLP applications.
