Vielha (Val d’Aran)

Deadline: October 5, 2026

The II International Conference on Communication, Technology and Minority Languages, which will take place on 26–27 November 2026 in Vielha (Val d’Aran), has extended the deadline for submitting abstracts until 5 October 2026.

About the conference

The second edition of the International Confernce aims to deepen how artificial intelligence and other technologies can be allied by the creation of audiovisual and journalistic content in minority languages and, at the same time, strengthen their own communicative spaces. The conference maintains the format of the first edition with a double academic aspect (with calls for researchers to present communications) and informative, with round tables and conferences aimed at a more general public.

In this second edition, the Conference wants to open itself to other European linguistic realities, while paying attention to Aranese and the minority languages existing in the Iberian Peninsula. At the same time, we want to take the opportunity to know how other languages with more speakers (such as Catalan or Basque) have developed communicative policies to strengthen their language.

We expect contributions linked to the following lines and themes:

• AI and new technologies and creation of audiovisual content in minority languages
  
• Viability of journalistic formats in minority languages
  
• Social networks and viral content in minority languages
  
• Promotion of the social use of minority languages through communication
  
• Public policies to promote the creation of content in minority languages.

Presentation instructions

Category 1: academic presentations. Academic communications are accepted in oral presentation format, which will be organized in thematic sessions.

Category 2: presentations of experiences. In addition, presentations of experiences, tools and projects linked to the thematic lines are welcome. These proposals may have creative formats, which may include audio, video, images, text and multimedia resources.
