University of Limerick
Localisation Research Centre establishes link with leading Brazilian University
Centre GeNESS (UFSC)
The LOCALISATION RESEARCH
CENTRE (LRC), represented by its Director Reinhard Schäler, and the Centro
de Geração de Novos Empreendimentos em Software e Serviços
(GeNESS), represented by its General Coodinator José Eduardo de Lucca, today
signed a memorandum of understanding at Latin America’s primary
internationalisation and localisation event, LISE 2005, declaring their
intention to establish at the
Universidade
Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) an office of the LRC, LRC -
Brasil.
The
agreement covers, among other points, the establishment of a mirror site of the
LRC’s Localisation Technology Laboratory and Showcase (LOTS), the holding
of
major LRC – Brasil events
and training courses, and the initiation of joint research projects in the area
of internationalisation and localisation.
“This memorandum of
understanding lays the foundation for the cooperation between Europe’s and
José Eduardo de Lucca,
Coordinator General of GeNESS, said “The Brazilian software industry has
enormous potential for growth if it learns how to internationalise and localise
their products and services efficiently. Academic research, guided by industrial
needs, has to develop methodologies and technologies which go beyond the
mainstream localisation efforts we have become so familiar with. We are
confident that GeNESS and the LRC will play a central role in coming up with
innovative and inspiring solutions.”
