Joint Call for Workshops Proposals (EACL/COLING/NAACL/ACL/EMNLP) 2027
The Association for Computational Linguistics invites proposals for
workshops to be held in conjunction with one of the following
conferences: EACL 2027, COLING 2027, NAACL 2027, ACL 2027, or EMNLP
2027. We solicit proposals in all areas of computational linguistics,
broadly conceived to include related disciplines such as linguistics,
speech, information retrieval, and multimodal processing.
Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues:
* EACL 2027 (The 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the
Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a
hybrid conference, and physically held in Athens, Greece, from March
9-14, 2027.
* COLING 2027 (The 32nd International Conference on Computational
Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically
held in Macau, China, from May 9-14.
* NAACL 2027 (The 2027 Annual Conference of the Nations of the
Americas Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics),
which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in San
Francisco, USA, June 1-5, 2027.
* ACL 2027 (The 65th Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference in
the summer of 2027, physically held in Japan August 17-22.
* EMNLP 2027 (The 2027 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural
Language Processing), which will be held as a hybrid conference,
tentatively scheduled for early November 2027 and physically held in
Mexico or Central America.
The workshop and tutorial co-chairs will work together to assign
workshops to the conferences. They will take into account location
preferences and technical constraints provided by the workshop
proposers.
_This call is for all listed conferences occurring in 2027; unlike last
year, there will not be a second call for workshops for this conference
cycle._
IMPORTANT DATES
ACL Conferences Workshop Proposals Shared Dates:
Proposal submission deadline
September 4th, 2026
Notification of acceptance
October 2nd, 2026
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth").
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents. Note that submissions
should be ready to be turned into a Call for Papers to the workshop
within one week of notification.
The proposals should be _at most two pages_ for the main proposal and at
most two additional pages for information about the organizers, program
committee, and references. Please use the LaTeX template [1] for your
submission. _Failure to comply with these formatting guidelines, or to
provide the listed information below, will result in a desk rejection of
your proposal._
The two pages for the main proposal must include:
* A title, short name / acronym, and a brief description of the
workshop topic and content.
* Some conferences might take place only or partially virtually. We
request submissions to contain a brief discussion of planned measures to
make sure a workshop is successful and productive in case of a hybrid or
virtual-only attendance.
* A description of special requirements and technical needs.
* If the workshop has been held before, details on: how many prior
editions occurred, where previous workshops were held, how many
submissions the workshop received in the last iteration and how many
papers were accepted (also specify if they were not regular papers,
e.g., shared task system description papers), and an estimate of how
many in-person attendees the workshop attracted.
* Diversity and Inclusion Efforts (see more details below)
* (Optional/If Known) A list of invited speakers, with an indication
of which ones have already agreed and which are tentative, and sources
of funding for the speakers.
* (Optional) A description of any shared tasks associated with the
workshop, and estimate of the number of participants. Having a shared
task is optional.
The submission form will request information that does not factor into
the decision process, but are necessary for logistical reasons:
* An estimate of the maximum number of attendees at one given time
* Number of estimated in-person posters
* Preferred Venue (first and second preference). Providing a second
preferred venue is _optional_; while we will do our best to adhere to
these preferences, we cannot guarantee that they will be satisfied.
* Incompatible Venues. Please list any conferences that you will be
unable to be co-located with for logistical reasons. _We will assume
that any venue that is not listed here is a viable location for your
workshop, and withdrawing based on venue will result in a one-year ban
on all organizers from submitting workshop proposals._
* Duration of the workshop (1-day / 2-day workshop)
Note that the only financial support available to workshops is a single
free workshop registration for an invited speaker. The workshop
organizers must bear all other costs independently, including
registration for more than one invited speaker.
The two pages for information about organizers, program committee, and
references must include:
* The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organizers, with
a brief statement (2-5 sentences) of their research interests, areas of
expertise, and prior experience in organizing workshops and related
events.
* A list of Program Committee members, with an indication of which
members have already agreed. Organizers should do their best to estimate
the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order
to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper
receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to
reviewing more than 3 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time
and thoughtful reviews.
* An indication if the workshop will consider papers submitted through
ACL Rolling Review (ARR); use OpenReview as a platform (both to take
papers from ARR and for their own review); or whether the workshop will
only use START as a platform, and will not use ARR. In making this
choice, please pay careful attention to the ARR deadlines and conference
notifications.
* References
Submission is electronic at the following link:
https://softconf.com/p/acl-workshops2027/
If you are resubmitting a proposal from the previous call, please create
a new submission to be considered in this review process.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The proposals should describe the ways your workshop will support
diversity in NLP. We suggest organizers consider the following points,
while developing the proposal:
* Contribution to academic diversity: The proposals could explain how
the subject matter of the workshop will contribute to the diversity of
the field, e.g. use of multilingual data, indications of how the
described methods scale up to various languages or domains,
accessibility of resources, supporting underrepresented communities of
NLP and so on.
* Diversifying representation: Following the WiNLP [2] initiative, we
recognize the current problems of demographic imbalance in the field.
Therefore, we particularly encourage submissions including members of
under-represented groups in computational linguistics. The proposals
should describe how their selection of invited speakers, panelists,
organizers, and program committee promotes diverse representation (for
example, considering underrepresented demographics based on gender,
ethnicity, nationality, and so on). We also suggest including speakers
and panelists, who have not appeared as a keynote speaker or panelist in
recent conferences.
* Diversifying participation: The proposals could describe how the
call-for-papers and outreach will encourage people from marginalized
groups to attend and submit to the workshop. Some examples include
providing mentoring, subsidies, coordinating with affinity groups,
diversifying the selection of papers and so on. Please note that the
conferences' D&I Chairs focus on supporting main conference
participants, and supporting and sponsoring workshop participants is the
responsibility of the individual workshops.
ORGANIZER RESPONSIBILITIES
The organizers of the accepted proposals will be responsible for
publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions,
producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, organizing the meeting
days, and playing their part to ensure that all participants are aware
of ACL's anti-harassment policy. It is crucial that organizers commit to
all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera-ready
proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the
unified proceedings and author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot
accept submissions for publication that will be (or have been) published
elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on
simultaneous submission and review. However, it is worth noting that
workshops may also accept non-archival submissions, such as findings
papers, for presentation, which are allowed in this case. Since the
conferences will occur at different times, the timelines for the
submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of
camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested
timelines for each of the conferences are given below. The workshop
organizers are free to deviate from the proposed schedule for all dates
that are not marked as inflexible, though changes should be made in
consultation with the relevant workshop chairs.
In submitting a proposal, workshop chairs will be asked to agree to the
workshop non-compliance policy [3]. All workshops must agree to this
policy, which states that egregious cases of not living up to the
responsibilities of running a workshop will be penalized by a 1-year ban
on the organizers from submitting another workshop proposal. Workshop
proposals for which all authors do not agree to this policy will be
desk-rejected.
The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's
general policies on workshops, the financial policy for workshops, and
the financial policy for SIG workshops in the Conference Handbook [4].
Review Process
Workshop proposals will be holistically reviewed by a committee of
workshop chairs and the ACL workshop officers based on: their
originality and impact, the experience of the Organizing and Program
Committees, and adherence of the workshop proposal to ACL's code of
ethics, including a discussion of the ethical considerations for the
workshop topic if relevant. In addition to the proposals themselves,
acceptance decisions will take into account the diversity of accepted
topics, particularly in areas underrepresented in main conference
spaces, to ensure a well-balanced and relevant workshop program. A
well-written proposal can be rejected if it does not bring a new
perspective to the workshop program, and we may merge workshops that
propose similar programs.
This committee will also allocate workshops to the conferences included
in the call, taking into account the location preferences and technical
constraints given in the workshop proposal. However, the aim of the
review process is to accept as many high-quality, diverse workshops as
possible. Given space limitations at conference venues and the
increasing number of workshop proposals, the review committee can not
guarantee that a proposal will be co-located with their preferred venue
in lieu of extenuating circumstances.

o attend and submit to the workshop. Some examples include providing mentor=
ing, subsidies, coordinating with affinity groups, diversifying the selecti=
on of papers and so on. Please note that the conferences' D&I Chairs fo=
cus on supporting main conference participants, and supporting and sponsori=
ng workshop participants is the responsibility of the individual workshops.=

</ul>
<h2><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">Organizer Responsibilities</span></h2>
<p><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">The organizers of the accepted proposa=
ls will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including =
reviewing submissions, producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, org=
anizing the meeting days, and playing their part to ensure that all partici=
pants are aware of ACL’s anti-harassment policy. It is crucial that o=
rganizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the ca=
mera-ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop f=
rom the unified proceedings and author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot =
accept submissions for publication that will be (or have been) published&nb=
sp;</span></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">elsewhere, although they are free to s=
et their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. However, it is=
worth noting that workshops may also accept non-archival submissions, such=
as findings papers, for presentation, which are allowed in this case. Sinc=
e the conferences will occur at different times, the timelines for the subm=
ission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-read=
y copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested timelines for ea=
ch of the conferences are given below. The workshop organizers are free to =
deviate from the proposed schedule for all dates that are not marked as inf=
lexible, though changes should be made in consultation with the relevant wo=
rkshop chairs. </span></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">In submitting a proposal, workshop cha=
irs will be asked to agree to the </span><a href=3D"https://docs.google.com=
/document/u/0/d/1hhocb0fXBBJhqJHoOfZtx1V1kcTATpA4IMUGN5U3uwk/edit"><span st=
yle=3D"font-weight: 400;">workshop non-compliance policy</span></a><span st=
yle=3D"font-weight: 400;">. All workshops must agree to this policy, which =
states that </span><strong>egregious</strong><span style=3D"font-weight: 40=
0;"> cases of not living up to the responsibilities of running a workshop w=
ill be penalized by a 1-year ban on the organizers from submitting another =
workshop proposal. Workshop proposals for which all authors do not agree to=
this policy will be desk-rejected.</span></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">The ACL has a set of policies on works=
hops. You can find the ACL’s general policies on workshops, the finan=
cial policy for workshops, and the financial policy for SIG workshops in th=

"><br /></span><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style=
=3D"font-weight: 400;">Review Process</span></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">Workshop proposals will be holisticall=
y reviewed by a committee of workshop chairs and the ACL workshop off=
icers based on: their originality and impact, the experience of the Organiz=
ing and Program Committees, and adherence of the workshop proposal to ACL&r=
squo;s code of ethics, including a discussion of the ethical considerations=
for the workshop topic if relevant. In addition to the proposals themselve=
s, acceptance decisions will take into account </span><strong>the diversity=
of accepted topics</strong><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">, particularl=
y in areas underrepresented in main conference spaces, to ensure a well-bal=
anced and relevant workshop program. A well-written proposal can be rejecte=
d if it does not bring a new perspective to the workshop program, and we ma=
y merge workshops that propose similar programs.</span></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><span style=3D"font-weight: 400;">This committee will also allocate work=
shops to the conferences included in the call, taking into account the loca=
tion preferences and technical constraints given in the workshop proposal. =
However, the aim of the review process is to accept as many high-quality, d=
iverse workshops as possible. Given space limitations at conference venues =
and the increasing number of workshop proposals, the review committee can n=
ot guarantee that a proposal will be co-located with their preferred venue =
in lieu of extenuating circumstances.</span></p>
