Inter-Active Terminology for Europe (IATE) is the inter-institutional terminology database of the European Union. The project was launched in 1999 with the objective of creating a web-based interface for all EU terminology resources so as to make the information more easily available and ensure its standardisation throughout the EU institutions. It has been used in the EU institutions and agencies since summer 2004. A public user interface was released for testing in early 2007 and was officially opened on 28 June 2007.

IATE incorporates all of the existing terminology databases of the EU’s translation services into one interinstitutional database containing approximately 1.4 million multilingual entries. The following legacy databases were imported into IATE:

• Eurodicautom (European Commission)
• TIS (European Council)
• Euterpe (European Parliament)
• Euroterms (Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union)
• CDCTERM (European Court of Auditors).

The project partners are the European Commission, European Parliament, Council of the European Union, European Court of Justice, European Court of Auditors, European Economic and Social Committee, European Committee of the Regions, European Central Bank, European Investment Bank, and the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union.

The IATE web site is administered by the Translation Centre in Luxembourg on behalf of the project partners.
