EUROCALL 2023: CALL for all languages First call for papers   Submission deadline for EUROCALL 2022: 15 February 2023 The focus of this year’s EUROCALL conference is on inclusiveness of all languages, which is reflected in the main conference theme “CALL for all languages”.

We have also listened to feedback about the cost of participation and in order to help ease the financial burden [...]
