Dear colleague,


We invite you to participate in the 2026 edition of the CheckThat! Lab 
at CLEF 2026. This year, we feature three tasks ---two follow-up and one 
new--- that correspond to important components within and around the 
full fact-checking pipeline in multiple languages:


Task 1 Source Retrieval for Scientific Web Claims: Given a social media 
post that contains a scientific claim and an implicit reference to a 
scientific paper (mentions it without a URL), retrieve the mentioned 
paper from a pool of candidate papers. Available in English, German, and 
French.


Task 2 Fact-Checking Numerical Claims:Given claims, potential evidence, 
and possible reasoning paths, rank the reasoning paths and provide an 
output of verdict. Available in Arabic, English, and Spanish.


Task 3 Generating Full Fact-Checking Articles:Given a claim, its 
veracity, and a set of evidence documents consulted for fact-checking 
the claim, generate a full fact-checking article.
