Date: September 14–17, 2026
Location: University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

We cordially invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held as part of KONVENS 2026 in Hamburg. Join us in Germany’s vibrant northern city and help shape the scientific exchange on natural language processing, computational linguistics, and related areas!

Workshop Proposals

Workshops provide opportunities for in-depth discussions and community building around emerging, specialized, or interdisciplinary topics. Both half-day and full-day formats are welcome. Proposals should include:

• a title and a brief description (at most 4 pages in ACL format) of the workshop topic
• the desired workshop length (half-day or full-day)
• the names and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise
• a list of potential members of the program committee, with an indication of which members have already agreed to serve

Organizers of accepted workshops are responsible for publicity, review process, and producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings.

Tutorial Proposals

Tutorials are intended to teach or review established or emerging methods, technologies, or research topics relevant to the KONVENS community. Both introductory and advanced tutorials are welcome. Tutorials should be designed as half-day events and can be in English or German. The tutorial proposal should include:

• a title and abstract of the tutorial
• the language in which the tutorial will be held (English/German)
• a brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the KONVENS community
• a brief outline of the tutorial structure showing that the tutorial’s core content can be covered in half a day
• the names and email addresses of the tutorial instructors, including one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise
• a list of previous venues and approximate audience sizes, if the same or a similar tutorial has been given elsewhere

To submit, please send your proposal in a single PDF by email to info.konvens2026@gscl.org.
