*International Conference ‘New Trends in Translation and Technology’
(NeTTT’2020)*

*Rhodes Island, Greece, 28-30 September 2020*





*First announcement*



The forthcoming International Conference ‘New Trends in Translation and
Technology’ (NeTTT’2020) will take place on the island of Rhodes, Greece,
28-30 September 2020.



The objective of the conference is to bring together academics in
linguistics, translation studies, machine translation and natural language
processing, as well as developers, practitioners, language service
providers and vendors who work on or are interested in different aspects of
technology for translation. The conference will be a distinctive and
interdisciplinary event for discussing the latest developments and
practices in translation technology. NeTTT’2020 invites all professionals
who would like to learn about recent trends, present their latest work,
and/or share their experiences in the field. The conference will also be an
ideal place to establish business and research contacts, collaborations and
new ventures.

The conference will take the form of presentations (peer-reviewed research
and user presentations, keynote speeches), demos (demos from sponsors) and
posters; it will also feature panel discussions and tutorials/workshops.
The presentations will be published as open-access conference e-proceedings.



NeTTT’2020 will be preceded by a two-day summer school on Neural Machine
Translation.
