19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics
Short Title: EACL

Location: Rabat, Morocco
Meeting URL: https://2026.eacl.org/calls/papers/

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

ARR submission deadline: Oct 6, 2025
EACL commitment deadline: Dec 14, 2025
Details: https://2026.eacl.org/calls/papers/
Overview:
The 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (EACL 2026) invites the submission of long
and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on
Natural Language Processing. EACL 2026 will take place in Rabat,
Morocco, from March 24 to 29, 2026.
Submission Information:
Paper submission and commitment will be handled via the ACL Rolling
Review (ARR) system (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp).
ARR works on a two-monthly review cycle. The “paper submission
deadline” is the latest date that new papers can be submitted to ARR
and be reviewed in time to be considered by EACL 2026. Papers
submitted in previous ARR rounds can also be considered. The “paper
commitment deadline” is the date by which authors must choose, based
on the reviews so far, whether to “commit” their ARR papers to be
considered by EACL 2026.
The authors should contact ARR with any questions about the review
process at editors at aclrollingreview.org.
As in recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will
be for papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and
Computational Linguistics (CL) journals.
Important Dates:
 - ARR submission deadline: 6 October 2025
 - Author response & reviewer discussion: 18 – 24 November 2025
 - Meta-reviews released: 11 December 2025
 - EACL commitment deadline: 14 December 2025
All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”).
Topics of Interest:
EACL 2026 has the goal of a broad technical program. Relevant topics
for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following
areas (in alphabetical order):
 - Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics
 - Dialogue and Interactive Systems
 - Discourse and Pragmatics
 - Efficient/Low-resource methods in NLP
 - Ethics and NLP
 - Generation
 - Information Retrieval and Text Mining
 - Information Extraction
 - Interpretability and Model Analysis in NLP
 - Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond
 - Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics
 - Machine Learning for NLP
 - Machine Translation
 - Multilinguality and Language Diversity
 - NLP Applications
 - Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation
 - Question Answering
 - Resources and Evaluation
 - Semantics: Lexical
 - Semantics: Sentence-level Semantics, Textual Inference and other
areas
 - Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis and Argument Mining
 - Speech and Multimodality
 - Summarization
 - Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing
Long Papers:
Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed
and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and
analysis should be included. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages
of content, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices. Upon
acceptance, long papers will be given one additional page of content
(i.e. up to 9 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers’ comments
can be taken into account.
Short Papers:
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work.
Please note that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead,
short papers should have a point that can be made in a few pages.
Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited
references and appendices. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given
one additional page of content (i.e. up to 5 pages) in the proceedings
so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Findings of the ACL:
Papers submitted to EACL 2026, but not selected for the main
conference, will also automatically be considered for publication in
the Findings of the Association of Computational Linguistics.
Acceptance notifications for the main track and Findings will come out
simultaneously.
Presentation Mode:
Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters, as
determined by the programme committee based on the nature rather than
the quality of the work. While short papers will be distinguished from
long papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the
proceedings between papers presented orally and as posters. Papers
accepted to the Findings of the ACL may present a poster.
Presentation Requirements:
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference—either online
or in-person—in order to appear in the proceedings. Authors of papers
accepted for presentation at EACL 2026 must notify the program chairs
by the withdrawal deadline if they wish to withdraw the paper. At
least one author of each accepted paper must register for EACL 2026 by
the early registration deadline.
Paper Submission and Anonymity:
Following standard ACL and ARR policy, submitted papers must be
prepared for two-way anonymized review, and no deanonymized preprint
may be posted in the month prior to submission. Please see the ARR CfP
for more detail (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp).
Policies on Authorship, Citation and Ethics:
EACL 2026 follows the ARR policies on authorship, citation and
comparison and ethics - please see the ARR CfP
(https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp).
Multiple Submission Policy:
EACL 2026 follows the ARR policy on multiple submission: we will not
consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another
conference at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be
submitted elsewhere during the review period. See the ARR CfP for more
detail (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp).
Mandatory Discussion of Limitations:
We believe that it is also important to discuss the limitations of
your work, in addition to its strengths. Following recent EACL
conferences, EACL 2026 requires all papers to have a clear discussion
of limitations, in a dedicated section titled “Limitations”. This
section will appear at the end of the paper, after the
discussion/conclusions section and before the references, and will not
count towards the page limit. Papers without a limitations section
will be automatically rejected without review. Papers resubmitted from
previous ARR review rounds that did not include a limitations section
must ensure that such a section is included in the EACL 2026 version.
While we are open to different types of limitations, just mentioning
that a set of results have been shown for English only probably does
not reflect what we expect. Mentioning that the method works mostly
for languages with limited morphology, like English, is a much better
alternative. In addition, limitations such as low scalability to long
text, the requirement of large GPU resources, or other things that
inspire further investigation are welcome.
