WP10 Dissemination and exploitation - M18

The objectives of this WP are to:

• (i) create a MOLTO community of researchers and commercial partners;
• (ii) make the technology popular and easy to understand through light-weight online demos;
• (iii) apply the results commercially and ensure their sustainability over time through synergetic partnerships with the industry.

To address (i), we have interfaced the RSS feed, publishing updates from the MOLTO website, to the Twitter feed http://www.molto-project.eu/moltoproject. This will further distribute the MOLTO news feed to mobile devices, alongside with the project's presence on LinkedIn.

To address (ii) we have organized a number of events geared at publicizing the core technologies employed in the project. MOLTO partners from UPC and UGOT organized a GF Summer School in Barcelona between 15-26, August 2011. The program comprised a tutorial week and an advanced week with specific topics, including also work which is being carried out as part of the MOLTO workplan. In particular, J. Saludes presented the evaluation of WP6, T. Hallgren introduced web application programming for GF, R. Enache showed the work on the GF-ontology inter-relation and on WP8, and C. Espana presented the results of WP5. The web site of the school, archives the presentations, the discussions (in particular the future work suggestions as a result of the panel discussion) and the calendar of the lectures. Furthermore, A. Ranta delivered a GF tutorial during CADE23, Grammatical Framework: A Hands-On Introduction, and J. Saludes presented The GF Mathematics Library (joint work with S. Xambó) during the CADE23 satellite workshop "CTP Components for Educational Software".

UHEL arranged the 3rd MOLTO Project meeting in Helsinki Aug.31-Sept 2, 2011.

To address (iii), we now will enlarge the MOLTO Consortium by two new partners, one of which, Be Informed is a commercial partner interested in exploiting the MOLTO tools in its products.

The list of publications can be obtained from the MOLTO website, ordered by year (most recent first), http://www.molto-project.eu/biblio?sort=year&order=desc.
