Hosting LREC 2028 or LREC 2030
The ELRA Board is launching, for the first time, an open call for expressions of interest from universities, research teams, research institutes, and academic consortia active in fields related to LREC and willing to consider hosting the International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC) in either 2028 or 2030.
At this stage, ELRA is not requesting formal hosting proposals. Candidate teams are invited to submit preliminary expressions of interest using the dedicated expression-of-interest form.
LREC 2026, the 15th edition of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, took place in Palau de Congressos de Palma, Palma de Mallorca (Spain), on 11-16 May 2026.
The three-day main conference took place on 13-15 May 2026, along with three days of workshops and tutorials held in the days immediately before (11-12 May 2026) and after (16 May 2026).
The hybrid conference brought together researchers and practitioners in natural language processing, computational linguistics, speech and multimodality, with special attention to evaluation and the development of resources that support work in these areas. Following the tradition of LREC, the 15th edition featured grand challenges and provide ample opportunity for participants to exchange information and ideas through both oral presentations and extensive poster sessions, complemented by an exciting social program.
