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>
