Researchers from eight universities gathered at the University of Vigo’s Pontevedra campus to advance the Esmas-Es+ project, an initiative aimed at developing an automatic multilingual semantic tagging tool that helps computer systems understand the meaning of words and expressions more accurately. The project combines linguistics, artificial intelligence, and language technologies to create a prototype capable of automatically assigning semantic labels to texts.
The European Master in Lexicography (EMLex) is an international Master’s degree programme (120 ECTS) that has been offered since 2009. Since 2016, the EMJM-EMLex has been awarded as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree.

This academic milestone marks the culmination of their studies and research efforts and represents an important achievement in their academic journey. Congratulations to both students, and best wishes for their future academic and professional endeavours.

Die Alain-Rey-Kohorte des zweisprachigen (Englisch und Deutsch) Erasmus-Mundus-Masterstudiengangs EMLex verbringt derzeit das Sommersemester ihres ersten Masterstudienjahres an der Université de Lorraine in Nancy. Das Sommersemester neigt sich dem Ende zu, und die abschließende kulturelle Veranstaltung führte sie am 18. Juni 2026 in die französische Hauptstadt!
Diese Reise war für uns alle eine fantastische und äußerst bereichernde Erfahrung. Am Vormittag hatten wir die einmalige Gelegenheit, einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des Verlags Le Robert zu werfen – ein faszinierender Besuch, der perfekt zu einem Lexikografie-Studium passt. Ein großes Dankeschön geht an Géraldine Moinard, die Chefredakteurin bei Le Robert, für ihren herzlichen Empfang und an Benjamin Rouxel für seinen äußerst interessanten Vortrag „Inside Le Robert: Wie neue Wörter in unsere Wörterbücher gelangen“.
Der Nachmittag war ebenso inspirierend, mit einer Führung durch das UNESCO-Hauptquartier. Vielen Dank an Xianhong Hu und David Castillo Parra für ihre Unterstützung bei der Organisation dieser Veranstaltung. Sie schlossen sich uns anschließend auch für ein Foto vor dem UNESCO-Hauptquartier an, zusammen mit Guilherme Canela, dem Leiter der Abteilung für digitale Inklusion, Politik und digitale Transformation am UNESCO-Hauptsitz in Paris.
Diese gemeinsamen Erlebnisse in Paris machen diesen Tag für uns alle unvergesslich!

The Faculty of Philology highlights the European Master in Lexicography (EMLex) as one of its master programmes for celebrating its 50 years. In the video “Mestrados en Filoloxía (Filoloxía. 50 anos creando futuro)”, Mario Cal introduces EMLex, offering viewers insight into the programme’s international scope and academic value.
The inclusion of EMLex in this commemorative piece reinforces its role as a key contributor to advanced linguistic studies and specialized training in lexicography. You can grasp an accessible overview that EMLex can offer to you.
I recommend EMLex because this master’s program allows you to plunge into the world of dictionaries in which you are accompanied by the most renowned international lexicographers. Furthermore, due to its international and interdisciplinary structure, you get in contact with people of so many diverse cultures.

I recommend EMLex because it offers two Master programs in one: you will get the best lexicographical skills while increasing your multicultural awareness. It is a studying experience...

I recommend EMLex because the professors are really very dedicated and patient. In addition, I was able to test the knowledge acquired in Mexico, and my level of English and German improved thanks to the interaction with classmates and professors of different nationalities. I feel very fortunate to belong to such a close-knit community and to have friends in different parts of the world.

I recommend EMLex because you can acquire a fundamental education, meet professional lecturers who do their best for every student, you can learn new fields and updates related to lexicography, and nowhere else but here you can become a professional lexicographer. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to be a member of this big family. After only two months of study, I can say that reality overcame expectations.

I recommend EMLex because the program is well-structured, we can work with the world’s best lexicographers, and it is possible to get new knowledge and experience while studying in several European universities.
