== Call for Participation == The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) is an organisation that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and researchers of this increasingly viable technology. As part of its commitment to promote research, development and awareness about translation technologies, the EAMT opens a call for a small number of bursaries to support EAMT 2024 attendees from areas affected by war and low-income countries. The 25th Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT 2024) conference will be held in Sheffield, United Kingdom, from June 24th to June 27th. == Purpose of the Call == This call is dedicated to support EAMT 2024 attendees that do not have fundings to attend the conference, from areas affected by war or low-income countries in Europe, Middle East or Africa.

We will also give priority to people with accepted papers in the main conference. -- Selection criteria -- - The selection will be made based on the information submitted to the provided Google Forms (link below). - One of the fields in the form is a "motivation letter", where you should describe your motivation for attending the EAMT 2024 conference and explain why you do not have other funds to sponsor your attendance. - You should also submit a CV, highlighting your years of experience in the MT area. == Bursaries == EAMT anticipates funding several applications.
