Its mission is to promote the development and exploitation of Language Resources (monolingual and multilingual lexica, text corpora, speech databases and terminology) within the Language Engineering field. ELRA receives financial support from the European Commission and national governments in Europe. Although its prime focus is on Europe, ELRA also seeks active cooperation and exchange of resources with the global Language Resources community.
