EACL 2009 is the major scientific event in Computational Linguistics and 
Human Language Technology
research in 2009 in Europe. It covers a broad spectrum of disciplines 
working towards enabling intelligent
systems to interact with humans using natural language, and towards 
enhancing human-human communication
through services such as speech recognition, automatic translation, 
information retrieval,
text summarization, and information extraction.

The conference is organised by the National Centre for Scientific 
Research (NCSR) "Demokritos" -
Institute of Informatics & Telecommunications, with the support of the 
Athens University of Economics and Business -
Department of Informatics and the Institute for Language and Speech 
Processing.
It will take place at the Megaron Athens International Conference Center.
