About

ACL, the oldest and largest international conference on NLP, will take place in Vienna, Austria this year. This presents a unique opportunity to bring international experts closer to the local Danish community to foster knowledge exchange, future collaborations, and innovation through discussions on cutting-edge advancements in language technology.

The workshop is supported by the Danish Data Science Academy, as well as the Pioneer Centre for AI.

The programme will combine different formats – talks, poster sessions and round-table discussions – offering direct engagement in an intimate setting with global leaders to help spark new ideas and promote networking and collaboration.

The target group consists of researchers and practitioners in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Generative AI and Language Technology.
