University of Gothenburg

The University of Gothenburg has approximately 50,000 students (25,000 full-time students) and 5,000 employees. It is one of the largest universities in Europe. With its eight faculties and approximately sixty departments, the University of Gothenburg is also the most wide-ranging and versatile university in Sweden. The distinctive characteristic of university education at the University of Gothenburg is the close interaction between teaching and research. Students are kept informed of the latest developments in the field they are studying and researchers gain inspiration from their students’ expectations and needs. In an international perspective too, the University of Gothenburg is unusually comprehensive, with cutting-edge research in a number of dynamic research areas. Cooperation with Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, society at large and trade and industry has been consistently strengthened and intensified over recent years, as have international contacts and collaborative projects with partners abroad.

The MOLTO project involves three departments of the university: Computer Science and Engineering (shared with Chalmers University of Technology), Swedish Language, and Department of Philosophy, Linguistics, and Theory of Science. Groups of researchers from these departments together form the CLT (Centre for Language Technology), which is one of the eight focus areas of research of the University. The UGOT key persons of MOLTO are members of the CLT.
