**SECOND AND FINAL CALL --- DEADLINE 3 MAY**
‘Language in the Human-Machine Era’ (https://lithme.eu/) aims to prepare all areas of
linguistics and language research for imminent changes in the way we use technology
to communicate. From immersive augmented reality to super-intelligent chatbots, in
the near future we will communicate in very different ways. This will present
significant challenges across linguistics and language research; and so we must all
adapt, whether or not we know much about technology right now!
LITHME is here to raise awareness of these challenges, and to prepare linguistics and
its sub-disciplines for what is to come. Our fully funded training school is open to
any eligible researcher interested to explore how the widespread use of new and
emerging technologies might influence their research. No previous technological
expertise is required, only an interest in exploring the possible effects of these
near future advances in language technology.
We're currently planning for this to be held in person. We really hope the
vaccination effort makes that possible! But if not, our hosts UNED (National Distance
Education University of Spain) have specialist expertise in remote online learning,
so we can still hold a high quality online event.
More information about eligibility, and the online application form, can be found
online: https://lithme.eu/training-school/. The deadline for applications is 3 May.
Please forward this email on to anyone who may be interested, and please retweet the
announcement here: https://twitter.com/LgHumanMachine/status/1380067980432785409.
We hope to see you in Ávila!
Best wishes,
Dave (on behalf of the training school organising committee)
