18 - 20 December 2026, CfP: The 25th Amsterdam Colloquium (AC 2026), University of Amsterdam [NL]

Date: 18 - 20 December 2026
Location: University of Amsterdam [NL]
Deadline: Tuesday 1 September 2026

The Amsterdam Colloquia aim to bring together linguists, philosophers, logicians, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. 

With this year's edition, the Amsterdam Colloquium turns half a century old!  To celebrate the 50th anniversary we will host a Special Session on The Past and Future of Semantics. In addition to the general program and the special session, the 25th Amsterdam Colloquium will feature a workshop on Semantics and Non-classical Logics. The Colloquium will also include a poster session and an evening lecture by Prof. Nicholas Asher, jointly organised with the E. W. Beth Foundation.

Authors can submit an anonymous abstract of at most two pages (excluding references), with an optional third page for tables and figures, with 1 inch margin and 11pt font. The time for presentations of accepted submissions for both regular programme and the workshops is 30 mins (20/25 mins + Q&A). Every author may submit more than one abstract, but only one in which they appear as the first author.

Date: 7 - 9 September 2026
Location: Udine [IT]
Deadline: Sunday 14 June 2026

The aim of ICTCS is to foster cross-fertilization of ideas across different areas of theoretical computer science and to provide an environment where junior researchers and PhD students can interact with senior researchers.

ICTCS 2026 includes three special tracks devoted to significant application domains of theoretical computer science. The aim is to solicit contributions that, while not primarily situated within theoretical computer science, address substantive theoretical questions emerging from applied research problems. The three special tracks are listed on the website.

Two types of contributions (in English, CEUR-WS format) are solicited.

Regular papers: Up to 12 pages (bibliography excluded), presenting original results not published or submitted elsewhere. Authors may include an appendix; reviewers are not required to consider it.

Communications: Up to 5 pages (bibliography excluded), suitable for extended abstracts of published or submitted papers, ongoing research reports, and PhD thesis or project overviews.

21 - 22 September 2026, 3rd Conference of the European Network for Digital Democracy (EDDY), Vienna [AT]

Date: 21 - 22 September 2026
Location: Vienna [AT]
Deadline: Wednesday 3 June 2026

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).

For the 3rd EDDY Conference, we welcome contributions from both academics and practitioners on any of the following topics, in relation to digital democracy: online deliberation, liquid democracy, the public sphere, apps and tools for online decision-making, machine learning, crowdsourcing, the digital divide, participatory budgeting, computational social choice, digital identities, social media, popular will, and secrecy vs. publicity of votes and opinions. We particularly welcome submissions by students and early career scholars or practitioners. You can contribute with either a talk or a demo.

21 - 23 September 2026, CiLD 2026: Construal in Language and Discourse, University of Łódź [PL]

Date: 21 - 23 September 2026
Location: University of Łódź [PL]
Deadline: Sunday 31 May 2026

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.

 

CiLD invited papers on these topics (and their sub-topics): Cognitive Linguistics; Discourse, Pragmatics & Narrative; Sociology & Social Interaction; and Narrative, Storytelling & Literature. The abstracts for individual papers (20-minute presentation + 10-minute discussion) should be max. 200 words long, in English and accompanied by a short biographical note (max. 100 words) and 3–5 keywords.

See the official website for more information and the submission form.

The conference will cover the whole range of mathematical logic and the foundations of the exact sciences.

In addition to the keynote talks, there will be a "PhD Colloquium" with invited presentations of excellent recent PhD graduates.

The programme committee invites the submission of abstracts for talks in all fields of an online form. Alternatively, abstracts can also be submitted independently of the registration by email.
