EACL 2027 — The 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics

EACL 2027, the 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, runs 9-14 March 2027 in Athens, Greece, under the special theme 'The Human in Language'. It is the European flagship of the ACL conference family alongside ACL, NAACL, COLING and EMNLP, and its call covers 28 tracks spanning language modelling, LLM agents, interpretability, multimodality, machine translation, efficient NLP methods, ethics and bias, NLP and code, speech processing, and resources and evaluation. Review runs through ACL Rolling Review: the ARR submission deadline for long and short papers was 3 August 2026, with the author response period 14-19 September, meta-reviews released 8 October and the EACL commitment deadline 11 October 2026. The programme also carries an industry track, system demonstrations, and a co-located workshop programme selected through the joint 2027 ACL-community call.

• ✓NLP researchers and computational linguists
• ✓Applied ML engineers working on language models
• ✓Heads of AI building multilingual or European-market products
• ✓Machine translation and speech engineering teams
• ✓AI ethics, fairness and interpretability leads
• ✓Industry research managers recruiting European NLP talent
• ✓PhD students in NLP

EACL is where the European NLP research base publishes, which makes it the practical place to meet the labs and hiring pipelines a European AI team recruits from, and to hear the regulatory conversation those teams operate inside. Twenty-eight tracks give a head of AI a structured read on which subfields have real momentum — LLM agents, interpretability and efficient NLP methods each carry their own track — and the 2027 theme, 'The Human in Language', puts human-centred evaluation on the main stage rather than in a side workshop. Athens in March is also unusually accessible and affordable for a team travelling from anywhere in Europe.

• ✓Main conference long and short paper programme across 28 tracks
• ✓Industry Track for applied and deployed NLP work
• ✓System Demonstrations track
• ✓Special theme track: 'The Human in Language'
• ✓Co-located workshop programme selected through the joint 2027 call shared with COLING, NAACL, ACL and EMNLP
• ✓ACL Rolling Review cycle with a formal author response period (14-19 September 2026) and reviewer discussion phase (20-24 September 2026)
• ✓Dedicated tracks for LLM Agents, Interpretability, Efficient NLP Methods and NLP and Code

• ★The European flagship of the ACL conference family — the venue where the European NLP research base and its funding bodies convene
• ★28 named tracks give an unusually granular map of which subfields have momentum, with LLM Agents, Interpretability and Efficient NLP Methods each carrying dedicated tracks
• ★2027 special theme, 'The Human in Language', puts human-centred evaluation on the main programme rather than in a side workshop
• ★Runs on ACL Rolling Review, so a single ARR submission can be committed here or to a sibling ACL-family venue rather than re-reviewed
• ★Carries a dedicated industry track and system demonstrations alongside the main research programme
