The European Parliament funds the same pool of higher-education institutions, university consortia and interpreter-training associations as its parallel topic, but for excellence, cooperation and research activities rather than for running postgraduate interpreting courses themselves. Funded actions include integrating modern information and communication technology into interpreter training, cross-border cooperation between postgraduate courses in different European, candidate and third countries, regional cooperation among universities with complementary language regimes, and setting up postgraduate centres of excellence or research. As with the wider call, the Parliament's role is to identify priority language combinations and assist universities, since Member States are formally responsible for providing the training itself.
