On February 6, the ELOQUENCE project was proudly featured at the DATAMITE Meet Up held at the OTE headquarters in Athens, Greece. Organised under the theme “Bridging Research and Industry in EU-Funded Innovation”, the event brought together innovators, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders from across Europe to explore collaboration opportunities and support Europe’s digital transformation.
Ravi Shekhar from the University of Essex represented ELOQUENCE, sharing insights into the project’s groundbreaking work in developing a multilingual voice-powered chatbot aimed at reducing bias in large language models (LLMs). His presentation highlighted recent advancements from Work Packages 2 and 4, focusing on the integration of multilinguality and bias control in conversational AI systems.
Participation in this high-profile event significantly boosted ELOQUENCE’s visibility, while also paving the way for new collaboration prospects and future funding pathways. Events like these demonstrate the importance of connecting research excellence with practical impact in the evolving European AI landscape.
