LENT
This project is innovative compared to standard tourism based language training, it aims to map the key language needs of 4 niche sectors. These subsectors will then support the building of a web and mobile based language application for the use of early stage language learning.
This approach of being driven by the needs of the tourism sector by identifying common threads to put into the app is not only unique in that it covers multiple niches in the tourism industry but it allows the ‘core’ vocabulary to be used by other tourism subsectors.
COMPASS
This project aims to provide direct support to both refugees, asylum seekers and migrants and the agencies and volunteers who support them. This project will provide a lasting and adaptable tool to deal with early contact language issues rated as one of the most important problems by both groups. The project will use innovative technology to provide multiway translation of key words and phrases covering the major issues as defined by both refugees and support agencies.
Crucial Crowdfunding
CRUCIAL CrowdFunding is an Erasmus+ supported project, designed to better inform all the different stakeholders who can potentially benefit from this innovative means of funding business ventures. The project will gather information on the current market conditions regarding the almost exponential growth of CrowdFunding in certain countries and amalgamate this into a pan-European vision of CrowdFunding. This will include all the key areas on both the demand and supply side of this funding mechanism.

easyspeak
Easyspeak – this project aims to provide a FREE platform for language learning. It will provide functional language phases and words needed for business in the current climate. The idea is that people can drop in and do short bursts of training either prior to business trips or use it to help build up a repertoire of business language in 10 different languages. The languages covered are English, Spanish, French, Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Arabic. The project will provide conversions of popular words and phrases in all of the 10 languages and users can enter with any of the 10 languages and translate to any of the remaining languages to improve their language skills. Initially the project is focused on the life science sector but much of the vocabulary is relevant in all business and recreational conversation. The project is funded through the EU from the Erasmus+ fund.

eLSi
Life science is a key sector in Europe, comprising pharma, biotech, medtech and healthcare. The life science sector is a global business, with collaboration partners and target markets distributed world-wide and with strong international competition. There is therefore a growing need of European life science managers to acquire the key competence of specific intercultural skills in order to export their company’s expertise, to collaborate with key global players and to sell their technologies into international markets.
