Pangea technologies within EXPERT program will be featured at the poster session of the European
MT Summit 2013. Pangeanic is attending as a member of the EU-funded Marie Curie consortium EXPERT (EXPloiting Empirical appRoaches to Translation). The aim of this EU-funded action is to train young researchers, namely Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and Experienced Researchers (ERs), to promote the research, development and use of hybrid language translation technologies. Several assumptions have been made for the advancement of the language industry and future generations of technologically-minded decision makers in Europe

Pangeanic is to contribute to different project stages by (co-)hosting/supervising a number of post-graduate and post-doctoral researchers with a focus on:
- To date, MT tools not designed to aid professional translators. Shortcomings: user-unfriendly interfaces, lack of awareness of translator's feedback, etc.
- TM systems also perform poorly for texts that have not been translated before.
- No clear boundaries – both technologies meant to help humans to produce high quality, reliable, fast and cheap translations.
- EXPERT will seek accommodate requirements of both user types: professional translators and readers of translations
