Additionally, papers on efforts using Arabic resources but targeting other
languages are also welcome. Descriptions of commercial systems are welcome,

[Mt-list] EAMT 2020 Postponed

[Mikel L. Forcada]

**

*EAMT 2020 Postponed Until November*

*

It is with great reluctance that we announce today the decision to 
postpone our annual conference in Lisbon on the week of November 2 to 6, 
2020. The exact dates will be announced soon. In light of the current 
COVID-19 outbreak in Europe and subsequent travel and congregation 
restrictions being imposed by governments, after much deliberation, we 
felt the best solution would be to act without further delay and find a 
date later in the year with our current hosts, Unbabel.



Our obligation is to ensure a safe and successful conference for our 
members and the EAMT community. We strongly believe that moving the 
conference to November will allow us to achieve that.



What if you have submitted a paper?


The proceedings will be published in May as originally scheduled. This 
allows authors of accepted papers to have their current work published 
in the community as planned without waiting until November. At least one 
author per accepted paper must register for the November conference in 
order to have their work published in the May proceedings, as usual.



In addition, under the current circumstances we have decided to extend 
the call for papers deadline for another 2 weeks, until 25 March 2020. 
Those who have already submitted papers have the opportunity to revise 
their work if they wish to do so. Others who may not have submitted 
because of COVID-19 travel restrictions can submit their papers for the 
November conference and inclusion in the proceedings published in May.



If your paper is accepted for publication at the actual event in 
November, you will be able to include an update on your research during 
the presentation.



What if you have already made travel arrangements?


If you have already made travel arrangements and cannot cancel or 
rebook, please contact us at eamt2...@inesc-id.pt.



We apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may cause you. We 
feel that this is in the best interests of our community and are 
grateful for your understanding.



We hope to see you in November, and to receive your submission by 25th 
March.



Sincerest regards,



Mikel L. ForcadaEAMT President

General Chair of EAMT 2020
