The 11th EURALEX International Congress will be held in Lorient, France, from the 6 to the 10th July, 2004. The Congess organizers are the Faculté de Lettres et Sciences Humaines of the Université de Bretagne Sud, Lorient.

The programme will include plenary lectures, parallel sessions on the topics listed below, software demonstrations, pre-congress tutorials and specialized workshops, a book and software exhibition, and social events for participants and their guests.
