Meeting Description: 

G21C (Grapholinguistics in the 21st Century) is a biennial conference bringing
together disciplines concerned with grapholinguistics and more generally the
study writing systems and their representation in written communication. The
conference aims to reflect on the current state of research in the area, and
on the role that writing and writing systems play in neighboring disciplines
like computer science and information technology, communication, typography,
psychology, and pedagogy. In particular it aims to study the effect of the
growing importance of Unicode with regard to the future of reading and writing
in human societies. Reflecting the richness of perspectives on writing
systems, G21C is actively interdisciplinary, and welcomes proposals from
researchers from the fields of computer science and information technology,
linguistics, communication, pedagogy, psychology, history, and the social
sciences.

G21C aims to create a space for the discussion of the range of approaches to
writing systems, and specifically to bridge approaches in linguistics,
informatics, and other fields. It will provide a forum for explorations in
terminology, methodology, and theoretical approaches relating to the
delineation of an emerging interdisciplinary area of research that intersects
with intense activity in practical implementations of writing systems.

The first edition of G21C was held in Brest, France, on June 14-15, 2018. All
presentations have been recorded and can be watched on

Poster presentations are virtual rooms where speakers can present their work
and interact with registered participants visiting the room. Poster sessions
