ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Social and Language Documentation 
(CIDLeS) cordially invites scholars working on endangered languages in 
Europe and on Language Documentation to join us at the International 
Conference on Endangered Languages in Europe. The 2-day International 
Conference aims to improve the discussion about linguistic diversity in 
Europe and to provide an interdisciplinary forum in which scholars from 
Language Documentation, Language Technology and others working on 
European endangered languages can exchange ideas and techniques on 
language documentation, archiving, and revitalization and to reflect on 
language policy issues. The second day of the Conference will have two 
special panels: one focussing on the endangered languages in the Iberian 
Peninsula and another one, a round table, dedicated to the theme "new 
speakers of minority/endangered languages".

The Conference is organized by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Social 
and Language Documentation in Minde, Portugal.

The Conference will include a broad socio-cultural program related to 
the theme "Endangered Languages in Europe" with the aim of promoting 
intercultural exchange and reinforcing the relationship between 
linguists and language communities. On the 19^th of October 2013 there 
will be a "Language Fair" will take place, in which several members of 
endangered language communities in Europe will present their languages 
and cultures through book displays and cultural events (music, theatre, 
movies, exhibitions, etc.). On the evenings of 18th and 19th October 
there will be an "Endangered Languages Music Festival".
