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".<span

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<sup>th</sup>
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”. <o:p></o:p></span> <br>
