We announce that the *submission deadline* for *CLiC-it 2026*, the

Over the years, CLiC-it has evolved into an *important forum* for the
*Italian community* of researchers in *Computational Linguistics *(CL)
and *Natural
Language Processing* (NLP). The conference aims to promote and
disseminate *high-quality,

technologies, and application perspectives.

CLiC-it has an inclusive spirit, bringing together researchers from
Computational Linguistics, NLP, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine
Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information
Retrieval, and Digital Humanities.
Contributions in all languages are welcome, with a particular emphasis on
Italian.
