LREC 2022 Officially Announced

On 19th April 2021 the European Language Resources Association (ELRA) officially announced the 13th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2022).

LREC 2022 will be held in Marseille, at the Palais du Pharo, from 20th to 25th June 2022 (the Main Conference on 21st, 22nd and 23rd; Workshops and Tutorials on 20th, 24th and 25th).

ELRA hopes to be able to organize a face-to-face event but, if physical gatherings will not be yet allowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual alternative will be set up.

The Scientific Programme will include: invited talks; oral, poster and demo presentations; panels; a keynote address by the winner of the Antonio Zampolli Prize.

An Industrial Track, for which a separate Call will be published, will be organized as well.

LREC 2022 is co-organized by ILC-CNR and will be chaired by Nicoletta Calzolari (ILC-CNR).

Further details will be published in the Conference Web site (soon available in the LREC Portal).
