MT Summit VIII,
Santiago de Compostela, Spain,
18-22 September 2001
The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT)
invites you to participate in the Eighth "Machine Translation
Summit" which is being held in Santiago de Compostela,
Galicia, Spain from the 18th to the 22nd September 2001.
The MT Summit conferences bring together the global MT
community to review the state of the art of machine
translation, computer-aided translation support
tools and multilingual tools, both in the commercial
world and in the research sphere. It is a unique opportunity
to learn about the latest developments in the field, for
researchers, users and vendors to exchange experiences
and to get valuable feedback, and for meeting others
involved in this technology.
There will be a full programme of papers, presentations
by invited speakers, panel sessions, exhibitions,
demonstrations, and workshops (on the day preceding
the conference and on the final day). There will be
excursions, a banquet and a folk music performance,
and also some activities for spouses and partners
of delegates.
LIST OF PAPERS now on website.
VENUE
The conference is taking place in Santiago de Compostela
in North West Spain(Galicia), famous as a pilgrimage
destination since the early Middle Ages, a city full of
ancient buildings, from its eleventh-century cathedral to
its seventeenth and eighteenth century houses, convents
and palaces. The old town has been listed as a 'world
heritage city' by Unesco. The venue for the conference
is the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos (Hostal dos Reis
Católicos), originally founded in 1499 as a Royal hospital
for pilgrims, a magnificent building in the Spanish
Renaissance style. It is now both the oldest and one
of the most impressive hotels in the world. The opening
session and the banquet will take place in the Comedor
Real, other sessions will be in the hotel's auditorium and
other rooms, and the exhibition and demonstrations will be
housed in the Chapel. The opening reception will take place
in the Pazo de Raxoi (City Council), an 18th century
building next to the Hostal.
HOTELS
Santiago de Compostela is a major tourist centre attracting
many visitors throughout the year. We have reserved
accommodation in the Hostal itself and in a number of
hotels close by (many restored 17th and 18th century
buildings). All except one are within walking distance
of the Hostal venue. (A bus will be provided for the Hotel
Puerta del Camino). Because of the high demand for
hotel rooms in Santiago and the substantial deposits, we
ask for about half the full hotel charge when booking, and
we encourage you to book early to be certain of
your preference.
Hotels are now getting full. Please register and book
as soon as possible.
