It further contains technical lectures on the fundamental computational components required for language processing as well as technical ateliers to learn how to set up evolutionary linguistics experiments. Participants have the opportunity to present their latest research in a poster session. Embedded in the school is an ERC workshop of the Flow Machines project on musical style and composition. The school also features artistic ateliers in which participants create new creative works and engage in performance. Interested researchers can apply by following the registration information that is available on the website.

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 18th and 19^th of October 2013 a "Language Fair" will take place (http://www.cidles.eu/events/conference-ele-2013/language-fair/), in which several members of endangered/minority language communities in Europe will present their languages and cultures through exhibitions and cultural events (music, theatre, movies, etc.). On the evenings of 18th and 19th October there will be an "Endangered Languages Music Festival".

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 18th and 19^th of October 2013 a "Language Fair" will take place (http://www.cidles.eu/events/conference-ele-2013/language-fair/), in which several members of endangered/minority language communities in Europe will present their languages and cultures through exhibitions and cultural events (music, theatre, movies, etc.). On the evenings of 18th and 19th October there will be an "Endangered Languages Music Festival".
