In 2026, the Conference on Natural Language Processing (KONVENS) will be hosted in Hamburg by the University of Hamburg We look forward to welcoming the NLP community to Hamburg for an inspiring exchange of ideas and research.
A HUB FOR SCIENCE AND NLP RESEARCH
As 2nd of Germany’s largest cities, Hamburg is not only known for its vibrant cultural and economic life but also as a dynamic center for science and innovation. The city hosts a broad network of universities, research institutions, and technology companies that foster interdisciplinary collaboration across computer science, linguistics, and artificial intelligence.
Within this ecosystem, the University of Hamburg plays a flagship role, with internationally recognized research in natural language processing (NLP), computational linguistics, and AI-driven language technologies.
By hosting KONVENS 2026 in Hamburg, we aim to highlight the city’s growing importance as a science hub and its contributions to the field of computational linguistics, while offering participants an inspiring environment for knowledge exchange and collaboration.
