The XXII EURALEX International Congress will be held between 29
September and 3 October 2026 in Vienna, Austria. The congress will be
organised by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and will take
place at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural
language processing (NLP) has begun to transform the ways in which
lexicographic data are compiled, analysed, and presented. Large
language models, advanced corpus tools, and other machine learning
methods offer unprecedented opportunities to accelerate tasks such as
the extraction of lexical information, the induction of word senses,
or the drafting of definitions. They also make possible new forms of
user interaction, including conversational and personalized
dictionaries that can adapt to different audiences or integrate
multimodal content such as text, sound, and images.
At the same time, these technologies pose serious challenges that go
beyond purely technical concerns. Automatically generated content
raises questions of reliability, bias, and transparency, while the
integration of opaque systems into lexicographic workflows risks
undermining scholarly standards of quality and accountability. The
ecological impact of large-scale AI models must also be taken into
consideration, raising doubts about their long-term sustainability in
resource-intensive projects such as lexicography. Finally, the
introduction of AI into the field invites reflection on the role of
the lexicographer: how can human expertise remain central when
automation is increasingly pervasive, and what kinds of collaborations
between humans and machines are both effective and responsible?
The conference "Lexicography in the Age of AI" will provide a forum
for discussing these promises and risks. We will bring together
professional lexicographers, publishers, researchers, software
developers, and anyone interested in dictionaries to consider both the
potential of AI for creating more dynamic, interactive dictionaries,
and the ethical and ecological responsibilities that come with it.
Call for Papers:
Papers, posters, presentations of new projects and software
demonstrations are invited on the topic “Lexicography in the Age of
AI” as well as all lexicographically relevant topics.
Types of Contributions:
When submitting your proposal, you can choose between the following
types of contributions:
 - Papers (regular 20 min. presentations plus 10 min. discussion)
 - Software demonstrations (10 min. video demonstrations in a specific
time slot)
 - Posters (to be presented in a dedicated poster session)
Each proposal will be reviewed anonymously by a minimum of two members
of the Scientific Committee. The Conference Proceedings will be
published online and freely accessible ahead of the conference. It
will also be submitted for indexing in Scopus.
The complete call for papers is available at
https://euralex2026.at/en/call-for-papers/
The deadline for the submission of abstracts with a maximum of 800
words, excluding references, tables, and figures, is 1 February 2026.
