European Language Industry Survey Open!

Your views on language services industry trends

ELIS is the European Language Industry Survey, and it scopes the trends, challenges, and opportunities in the European language services landscape.

In previous ELIS editions all types of industry stakeholders clearly expressed their concerns about the impact of AI and other language technologies on their activities. ELIS 2025 continues to monitor these sentiments, but focuses more on how independent professionals, language service companies, language departments and training institutes are dealing with the new challenges.

A rapidly changing professional reality also requires an active development of new talent. By zooming in on the practice of internships, generally considered as a useful means to prepare students for their professional futures, ELIS 2025 will help make this an even more effective pathway for them.

Your voice is critical for us to understand the wider European language services landscape. Take the survey today! The survey is open until 31 January 2025.
