   LAST CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

                 Proposal submission deadline: November 15, 2002



                                EACL 2003

          11th Conference of the European Chapter
     of the Association for Computational Linguistics



The EACL 2003 Program Committee invites proposals
for the Tutorial Program for EACL 2003, which is to be
held in the interval April 12 - 17, 2003 in the Agro
Hotel, Budapest, Hungary. The tutorials for EACL 2003
will be held on April 12 in two sessions (morning and
afternoon).



Tutorial speakers will have an opportunity to disseminate state-of-the-art techniques
and approaches in the areas of their expertise to the CL/NLP research community.
Members from all segments of the CL/NLP and related fields are invited to submit
proposals for review.



Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can be covered in three
hours of lecture time (including the break). However, in exceptional cases six-hour
tutorial slots are possible as well.



Submission Details

Proposals for tutorials should be no more than four pages in length, and should
contain:

     a brief but technical description of the tutorial topic;
     the names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the tutorial
     speakers, with brief descriptions of their technical background;
     the name of one tutorial speaker with an email address as the primary contact;
     a list of audio-visual and computer requirements and special room requirements,
     if there are any.

Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in any of the forms (rtf, pdf or ps)
no later than 15 November 2002.

Please submit your proposals and any inquiries (subject line should be: "EACL-03
TUTORIAL PROPOSAL") to:

Tutorial Speakers? Responsibilities

1. Tutorial speakers must provide descriptions of their tutorials for inclusion in the
Conference Registration. The description must be provided as follows:

     an rtf and a pdf version that fits onto 1/2 page;
     an ASCII version that can be included with email announcements;
     an HTML version that can be included on the Conference home page.

2. Finances: The current ACL policy is that tutorials are reimbursed at the following
rate: $500 per session plus $25 per registrant in the range 21-50 plus $15 per
registrant in excess of 50. Note that this is per tutorial, not per presenter: multiple
presenters will split the proceeds, the default assumption being an even split. The
ACL does not usually cover travel expenses except where the presenter(s) cannot get
them through the usual mechanisms: for ACL members we assume that they would
be coming to the meeting anyway. For people who are not ACL members, we would
expect to pay for costs that they cannot get reimbursed elsewhere. If they attend the
conference, tutorial presenters must register for EACL03.



3. Tutorialists will prepare all the tutorial materials.
