The MEDAL consortium project has the ambition to reduce the recognised gap in access to expertise, training, and research funding in Linguistics across Europe through a horizontal, network approach to engaging a new generation of researchers in empirically grounded, up-to-the-minute methodology. The consortium, comprising four highly acclaimed research organisations (Widening country member and coordinator, the University of Tartu, Estonia; Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen & Donders Institute at Radboud University, both in the Netherlands; University of Birmingham, UK) who will jointly lead a concerted move to increase the global competitiveness of Linguistics in Europe by bringing together world-class pioneers and early-career researchers, developing excellence in methodological training, and formulating a model of international collaboration on cross-linguistic, cross-modal, cross-disciplinary research. The project focusses on three clusters of empirically grounded methods which inform state-of-the-art language research: corpus studies, experimental methods, and computational modelling. The consortium will launch a multi-pronged effort to build better methodological expertise and awareness among the next generation of researchers, offer high-level training schools in the methods included in the project, and engage in the project’s collaborative Gold MEDAL Research project, in which early career researchers gain first-hand experience in conceptualising and designing a multi-method research programme, implementing it across a range of languages and modalities, and disseminating the results, leading to increased visibility for all partners. By 2025, the MEDAL consortium will have developed internal expertise, established a sustainable joint training and research programme and be poised for further collaboration, and the University of Tartu will be an internationally recognised Linguistics research excellence hub for Northern Europe.

MEDAL 联盟项目的目标是通过横向网络方法吸引新一代研究人员采用以经验为基础的最新方法，从而缩小整个欧洲在获得语言学专业知识、培训和研究经费方面公认的差距。该联盟由四个备受赞誉的研究组织（爱沙尼亚塔尔图大学扩大国家成员和协调员；荷兰奈梅亨马克斯·普朗克心理语言学研究所和拉德堡德大学唐德斯研究所；英国伯明翰大学）组成，他们将共同领导一项协调一致的行动，通过汇集世界级的先驱者和专家，提高欧洲语言学的全球竞争力。 早期职业研究人员，发展卓越的方法培训，并制定跨语言、跨模式、跨学科研究的国际合作模式。该项目重点关注为最先进的语言研究提供信息的三组基于经验的方法：语料库研究、实验方法和计算建模。该联盟将开展多管齐下的努力，在下一代研究人员中建立更好的方法论专业知识和意识，为高水平培训学校提供该项目所包含的方法，并参与该项目的合作金牌研究项目，在该项目中，早期职业研究人员在概念化和设计多方法研究项目、跨多种语言和模式实施该项目以及传播结果方面获得第一手经验，从而提高所有人的知名度 合作伙伴。到 2025 年，MEDAL 联盟将开发内部专业知识，建立可持续的联合培训和研究计划，并准备进一步合作，塔尔图大学将成为国际公认的北欧语言学研究卓越中心。
