WELCOME TO CASCADE


10 PHD PROJECTS

This international network of 10 doctoral research projects aims to train new
researchers in developing and using creative methods for analyzing how the
meaning of words changes in different situations. They will focus on
understanding how language expresses meaning in various contexts, particularly
over time.

Funded by Horizon Europe under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
Doctoral Networks and the UKRO.

THE DATA ECONOMY

CASCADE responds to a skills deficit in the academic, public and commercial
sectors: the need for people to be able to retrieve, critically evaluate and
make better use of the large volumes of textual data that characterise our
contemporary information society (the ‘data deluge’). It will help address the
critical skills shortage in big data and learning analytics identified by the
EU’s European Strategy for Data and the UK’s National Data Strategy, and
contribute to the expansion in the EU and UK’s pool of data science talent.


FIVE WORLD-LEADING UNIVERSITIES

The consortium involves collaboration between some of Europe’s leading
universities from the Ireland, Finland, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom.

 * University College Cork
 * University of Helsinki
 * Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
 * Universität des Saarlandes
 * University of Sheffield


INTERNSHIPS, WORK PLACEMENTS AND TRAINING

The training approach includes ten research projects hosted by five
organizations, along with internships and work placements. It is reinforced by a
network-wide program of Training Camps and Research Conventions.


PUBLICATIONS AND OTHER OUTPUTS

The network is expected to produce 10 doctoral theses and other outputs, such as
co-authored articles for experts, Wikipedia articles, Github pages,
contributions to public discussions, educational videos for the general audience
and secondary schools, as well as new software and algorithms.


EMPLOYABILITY

The network’s unique feature for potential researchers is its focus on combining
computational linguistics and humanities scholarship. This combination aims to
provide value and a competitive advantage to organizations involved in
semantically-aware information retrieval. These organizations can be academic or
commercial, engaged in early-stage research and development, applying new
methods, or communicating scientific knowledge for public understanding.
