Call for Participation

The European Association for Machine Translation (EAMT) is an organisation that serves the growing community of people interested in MT and translation tools, including translators, users, developers, and researchers of this increasingly viable technology.

As part of its commitment to promote research, development, and awareness about translation technologies, and to promote inclusivity in our community, the EAMT opens a call for a few bursaries to support attendees with disabilities, in attending the 20th Machine Translation Summit (MT Summit 2025) conference will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from June 23rd to June 27th.

Purpose of the Call

This call is dedicated to support potential MT Summit 2025 attendees with disabilities, working or studying in European, Middle-Eastern or African countries.

All applications will be screened by EAMT executive committee members.
