21 - 22 September 2026, 3rd Conference of the European Network for Digital Democracy (EDDY), Vienna [AT]
Location: Vienna [AT]In recent years, digital democracy has become a subject of academic research and is being put into practice around the world. However, the scientific investigations and practices of digital democracy are currently still living mostly in separate universes. The aim of this conference is to further advance digital democracy, by bringing together academics and practitioners actively working on or with digital democracy. This way we want to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange.
In line with this aim, the conference will feature contributed talks, social and interactive sessions and both academic and non-academic keynote speakers, such as Manon Revel (Google Deepmind) and Graham Wetherall-Grujic (The Innovation in Politics Institute, Berlin).

21 - 23 September 2026, CiLD 2026: Construal in Language and Discourse (extended deadline), University of Łódź [PL]
Location: University of Łódź [PL]The conference will focus on construal in linguistics, encompassing, though not limited to, cognitive linguistics, forensics, discourse studies, pragmatics, social interaction, narrative, storytelling, and literature. By bringing all these approaches together, the conference aims to establish construal as a unifying concept for understanding meaning in language and discourse.
The conference adopts a flexible view of the relationship between construal and linguistic expression/coding. Construal refers broadly to how events, participants, relations, inferences, evaluations, and temporal structures are conceptualised, framed, and made salient, while verbal and non-verbal resources—lexical, grammatical, prosodic, gestural, visual, and multimodal—are among the means through which such construals are communicated and negotiated in discourse.
