The Role of the Industrial Partner

Our industrial partner, Oribi AD, is a Swedish company with which develops assistive technology for people with reading and writing difficulties.  Our contact with the company is a speech therapist/dyslexia consultant Bodil Andersson Rack. 

Oribi will offer three two-month internships, on a competitive basis, to the Fellows of the network.   Successful Fellows would be seconded to the company to train in its development laboratory in order to gain experience in research and development in a company. The collaboration with Oribi will be mutually beneficial in that the Fellows will bring with them ideas and knowledge from their various projects about the types of difficulties, in particular in spelling and writing, that young learners in their languages experience, and for which they may need corrective help.   

The second part of Oribi`s involvement would entail a workshop contribution at either one of the six workshops or the conference that the network will organize.  This would include information about Oribi’s work, processes involved in R&D of literacy and spell-checking tools.
