 //I went for an STSM to Bulgaria in September 2024. The visit was very useful for me to understand new annotation methods. Hopefully, there will be future collaboration between the
 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the LexiCon research group at my university.//

+//Being part of UniDive has been an exciting and enriching journey for me, especially in advancing the representation of the Albanian language in Universal Dependencies and multilingual linguistic research. Collaborating with colleagues from diverse backgrounds has helped us tackle complex annotation challenges, turning dilemmas into learning opportunities. Seeing Albanian take its place in a global linguistic framework is both rewarding and motivating!//
+//Beyond technical advancements, UniDive has connected me with an inspiring community of researchers passionate about low-resource languages. The exchange of ideas and methodologies has broadened my perspective and reinforced the importance of linguistic diversity in both research and technology. Moving forward, I am excited to apply these insights to further develop Albanian linguistic resources, strengthen interdisciplinary collaborations, and contribute to innovative language technology solutions.//

-//I went for an STSM to the University of Sheffield and worked on nominal MWEs. I used this experience to involve students of MSc courses in NLP in the production and evaluation of multiword expression resources for Modern Greek with LLMs. This is a contribution to the students’ careers and to the issue of providing resources to Modern Greek that has no substantive lexica and only medium-size general purpose corpora.//
+//The ILSP & Archimedes/Athena RC team is working in developing speech corpora, STT models,  UD treebanks and models for morphosyntactic annotation for several, both living and endangered dialects of Modern Greek that are located in a geographical area spreading from Italy to Syria.  UniDive has provided an accommodating scientific environment with the ongoing discussions, community meetings and STSM tools.//

 //A post-doctoral fellow from my team, Stavros Bompolas, works on Greek dialects with AI tools. UD treebanking is crucial for his research. He attended the UniDive 2024 Chisinau Training School and found it instrumental in shaping his research trajectory. The training provided essential skills and insights, particularly in the Universal Dependencies framework. This knowledge has been vital in building dialectal treebanks for Greek varieties. It has also enabled him to examine how the concept of diversity is applied in NLP, leading to more accurate and comprehensive analyses.//
