15th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference - Call for Workshop
proposals
Short Title: LREC 2026

Date: 11-May-2026 - 16-May-2026
Location: Mallorca, Spain
Meeting URL: https://lrec2026.info/

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 17-Oct-2025

The Organisers of LREC 2026 invite proposals for workshops to be held
in conjunction with the main conference at Palau de Congressos de
Palma, Palma de Mallorca (Spain). We solicit proposals in all areas of
language resources, language technology, and evaluation of the
underlying technologies, broadly conceived to also include related
disciplines such as linguistics, language documentation, natural
language processing, speech and multimodal processing, computational
social science, and the digital humanities.
The workshops will be held at LREC 2026 in Palma de Mallorca (Spain)
on 11, 12 and 16 May 2026.
Important Dates:
(All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”)
17 October 2025: Proposal submission deadline
17 November 2025: Notification of acceptance
11-16 May 2026: LREC2026 conference
Submission Information:
Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents using the START system
(URL will soon be available on the conference website).  Note that
submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for
Workshop Papers within one week of notification of acceptance (see
Important dates above).
The proposals should be at most two pages for the main proposal + at
most two additional pages for information about organisers, program
committee, and references. Thus, the whole proposal should not be more
than FOUR pages long, excluding references.
The two pages for the main proposal must include:
 - A title and a brief description of the workshop topic and content.
 - Workshops can be half-day (morning 9:00 to 13:00 or afternoon 14:00
to 18:00) or full-day (9:00 to 18:00) and must follow fixed hours for
breaks (morning coffee break 10.30-11.00, lunch break: 13:00-14:00,
afternoon coffee break: 16.00-16.30).
 - A list of invited speakers, if applicable, with an indication of
which ones have already agreed and which are tentative, and sources of
funding for the speakers, if needed.
 - An estimate of the number of attendees.
 - A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop, and
estimate of the number of participants. Note that any shared task will
also need to be reviewed by the workshop committee for ethical
concerns.
 - A description of special requirements and technical needs, where
relevant.
 - If the workshop has been held before, a note specifying where
previous iterations of the workshops were held, how many submissions
the workshop received, how many papers were accepted (also specify if
they were not regular papers, e.g., shared task system description
papers, non-archival papers), and how many attendees the workshop
attracted.
The two pages for information about the workshop, the organisers and
the program committee must include:
 - A very brief advertisement or tagline for the workshop, up to 140
characters, that highlights any key information you wish prospective
attendees to know, and which would be suitable to be put onto a
web-based survey (see below).
 - The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organisers,
with one-paragraph statements of their research interests, areas of
expertise, and experience in organising workshops and related events.
 - A list of Program Committee members, with an indication of which
members have already agreed. Organisers should do their best to
estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring
workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so
that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is
committed to reviewing more than 3 papers. This practice is likely to
ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews.
Evaluation Criteria:
The workshop proposals will be evaluated according to their
originality and impact, the expected interest level of participants,
as well as the quality of the organising team and Program Committee,
and their contribution to the diversity of the conference.
Diversity and Inclusion:
We particularly encourage submissions of underrepresented groups in
language resources and language technology, including researchers from
any demographic or geographic minority, with disabilities, or others.
In the evaluation of the proposal, we will take these aspects into
account to create a varied and balanced set of workshops.
Workshop proposals are evaluated on a range of aspects, including
diversity, such as (1) how the topic of the workshop contributes to
improved diversity and increased fairness in the field, (2) if the
topic is particularly relevant for a specific underrepresented group
of potential participants, (3), if the presenters are from an
underrepresented group.
Workshop Organiser Responsibilities:
At least one of the accepted organisers must attend the workshop in
person. The organisers of the accepted proposals are responsible for
publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions,
producing the workshop program and the camera-ready workshop
proceedings according to LREC requirements, organising the meeting
days, and playing their part to ensure that all participants are aware
of LREC’s anti-harassment policy and code of conduct (see
https://lrec2026.info/lrec-2026-code-of-conduct/ ). It is crucial that
organisers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce
the camera-ready proceedings in the correct format on time will lead
to the exclusion of the workshop from the unified proceedings and
author indexes.
Workshop organisers cannot accept submissions for publication that
will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to
set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review, as well
as to accept additional non-archival presentations
