  * **[5 July 2024]**: The [[meetings:other-events:1st_unidive_training_school|1st UniDive training school]] is taking place on 8-12 July in Chișinău, Moldova. 3 courses on corpus annotation are offered. We are expecting about 60 trainees from over 20 countries, working on more than 30 languages, most of which low-resourced. We plan to record the courses and make them available after the event.
  * **[5 July 2024]**: The [[https://multiword.org/mweud2024/|MWE-UD workshop]] took place on the 25th of May and was co-located with the LREC/COLING conference in Turin. It was the 3rd biggest satellite event of this conference (UniDive funded 23 participants). The event featured 2 invited talks and 26 archival submissions, which are available at the [[https://aclanthology.org/volumes/2024.mwe-1/|ACL anthology]].
  * **[5 July 2024]**: In April, we received a proposal from COST to extend our budget for year 2. To be able to benefit from it, we drafted the Work and Budget amendment, which was validated by COST and by the UniDive Management Committee. This top-up budget allowed us to substantially increase the funding for the MWE-UD workshop Turin, the training school in Chișinău and the conference grants.
