Abstract

We present OLE, a dissemination activity of the EU Abu-MaTran project which aims to establish a linguistic Olympiad in Spain. We introduce the Linguistic Olympiads, our rationale and objectives for setting up OLE as well as our implementation plan. We foresee our work to be useful for other countries looking to start a Linguistic Olympiad.
