*META-FORUM 2021 invites Language Technology experts to discuss European 
Language Grid & Language-centric AI*


Only a few days are left until the start of META-FORUM 2021, the 
international conference series on powerful and innovative Language 
Technologies for the multilingual information society. The online 
conference is the place to be to learn about most recent developments 
and achievements in European Language Technology, both from industry and 
research and including language-centric AI.


From 15-17 November, Language Technology researchers and industry 
representatives are invited to learn all about “Using the European 
Language Grid” and discussing the state of play in the European LT 
landscape.


Search engines, voice assistants, translation services – Language 
Technology is everywhere. That is, if used in English. Many other 
languages, especially those with few speakers, lack the technological 
support that could help preserving them in the digital world and 
promoting their use, which instead increases their risk for abandonment 
and digital extinction. The European Language Grid (ELG) aims to prevent 
exactly this by becoming the primary Language Technology platform for 
all European languages, big and small. However, supporting digital 
language equality is only one of the ELG’s goals.


At META-FORUM 2021, taking place virtually from 15-17 November, 
participants can learn about all the different aspects of the European 
Language Grid in its function as a marketplace for the European LT 
industry, as a cloud platform for research data and tools and as a point 
of contact and exchange for the Language Technology community in the EU. 
Titled “Using the European Language Grid”, this year’s META-FORUM 
features many news and updates from the ELG project and initiative, the 
outcome of the ELG pilot projects, first results and findings of the 
European Language Equality project and much more.


As one of the highlights, META-FORUM 2021 will present an overview and 
first demo of the upcoming Release 3 of the European Language Grid, 
which will launch in early 2022. Further ones include the project expo, 
opening on day 1, as well as reports from the industry, information on 
current EU-funded projects in Language Technology and discussions on 
building bridges to Artificial Intelligence.


"META-FORUM 2021 will be a special edition of our conference series, 
summing up all the work achieved in the past three years of the ELG 
project and giving an outlook on the upcoming months. I especially look 
forward to the presentation of ELG Release 3, the results of the pilot 
projects at the virtual expo and the session on the European Language 
Equality project, which guides one of the main ideas of ELG towards a 
realistic future – digital language equality in Europe by 2030.” says 
Georg Rehm, coordinator of the ELG project.


The registration for META-FORUM 202 
1 is, as usual, 
free of charge.

Technology social media channels on Twitter and LinkedIn and featured in 
the ELT Newsletter.

N) Information Technologies in Radiocommunications (ITR);



TYPES of SUBMISSIONS and DECISIONS

Four types of papers can be submitted:

Full paper: Finished or consolidated R works, to be included in one of the 
Conference themes. These papers are assigned a 10-page limit.

Short paper: Ongoing works with relevant preliminary results, open to 
discussion. These papers are assigned a 7-page limit.

Poster paper: Initial work with relevant ideas, open to discussion. These 
papers are assigned to a 4-page limit.

Company paper: Companies' papers that show practical experience, R & D, tools,

Submitted papers must comply with the format of Advances in Intelligent Systems 
and Computing Series (see Instructions for Authors at Springer Website), be 
written in English, must not have been published before, not be under review 
for any other conference or publication and not include any information leading

These files must be accompanied by the Consent to Publish form filled out, in a

Poster papers and Company papers are not published in the Conference 
Proceedings, being only presented and discussed. The authors of accepted poster 
papers should build and print a poster to be exhibited during the Conference. 
This poster must follow an A1 or A2 vertical format. The Conference includes 
Work Sessions where these posters are presented and orally discussed, with a 7
