Since 1995! 27th Anniversary!

Dear Colleagues,

The 10th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2023), the meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland and the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take place on April 21-23, 2023. Following the tradition of the past events, it is supported by ELRA, FlaReNet and META-NET. Since 2005 LTC is organized every two years as the “Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics”.

Yes, we started 27 years ago! Our tradition goes back to the Language and Technology Awareness Days, the meeting organized in 1995 with the assistance of the European Commission (DG XIII). Among the key speakers at this conference were Antonio Zampolli (Italy), Dafydd Gibbon (Germany), Dan Tufiş (Romania), Orest Kossak (Ukraina). Today, we refer to this event as the first LTC. Fostering language technology and resources, as well as creating opportunities for face-to-face meetings and know-how exchange, remains an important challenge in our dynamically changing, information-saturated world.

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend this event in the beautiful and historical city of Poznań in April 2023.
