DIGITENDER is a project funded under the 2021 call for "Projects oriented to the ecological and digital transition", within the framework of the State Program to Promote Scientific-Technical Research and its Transfer, of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2021-2023.

The main objective of DIGITENDER is to make linguistic resources resulting from the project accessible (to humans and machines) such as multilingual terminologies, corpora, datasets. The terminological resources will be disseminated on the web https://terms.iulma.ua.es/ and also on the ZENODO platform in an open and interoperable format.

A very important aspect of the project is the inclusion of gender-sensitive information: on one hand, by integrating information about grammatical gender in terminological entries related to professions in the existing resources within IULMA (specialized dictionaries generated by the research group on Professional and Academic English) and, on the other hand, by creating linguistic papers and new terminological resources in the health domain focused on women's issues, usually invisibilized, such as menopause, menstruation, endometriosis, etc.
