UniDive - How to join us

My professional interests are relevant to universality, diversity and idiosyncrasy in language and language technology. I have heard about UniDive. How can I join the Action?

The principle of any COST action is to be open to new members. Here is the lightweight admission procedure.

Becoming a Working Group member

Whatever your country of affiliation, you may join one or more UniDive Working groups. To this aim:

Read the scientific program of the action (see the Memorandum of Understanding, pp. 18-20). Choose one or more Working Groups which you would like to participate in.

Fill in the WG application. It will be examined by the UniDive Core Group.

If it is validated, your email will be added to the relevant UniDive mailing lists.

COST countries

Your affiliation country is a COST Member, Cooperating Member or Partner Member (see the list), i.e. this country is per default a member of the Action.

You may become a Management Committee member unless your country already has two official representatives in the MC. To this aim:

You should contact your COST National Coordinator to ask for a nomination to the UniDive MC.

You should validate the MC nomination on your e-cost account (by following the link sent by e-cost).

The action's chair will organize an MC vote to validate your MC membership; you will be informed about its outcome.
