ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Social and Language Documentation 
(CIDLeS) cordially invites scholars working on endangered languages in 
Europe and on Language Documentation to join us at the International 
Conference on Endangered Languages in Europe. The 2-day International 
Conference aims to improve the discussion about linguistic diversity in 
Europe and to provide an interdisciplinary platform where scholars from 
Language Documentation, Language Technology and those working on 
European endangered language varieties 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 dedicated to the endangered languages in the 
Iberian Peninsula and another one, a round table, dedicated to new 
speakers of minority/endangered languages.

The Conference is organized by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Social 
and Language Documentation in Minde, Portugal.

The Conference includes 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 19^th of October 2013 a 
"Language Fair" will take place, in which several communities that speak 
endangered languages in Europe present their languages and communities 
through books, dictionaries and cultural events (music, theatre, movies, 
expositions, etc.). In the "Endangered Languages Music Festival" (18^th 
and 19^th of October 2013, in the evening) several bands that sing in 
European endangered languages will perform.
