**Aim and scope**
The Gender-Inclusive Translation Technologies Workshop (GITT) is set out to be the dedicated workshop that focuses on gender-inclusive language in translation and cross-lingual scenarios. The workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse areas, including industry partners, MT practitioners, and language professionals. GITT aims to encourage multidisciplinary research that develops and interrogates both solutions and challenges for addressing bias and promoting gender inclusivity in MT and translation tools, including LMs applications for the translation task.
**Topics**
GITT invites technical as well as non-technical submissions, which consist of experimental, theoretical or methodological contributions. We explicitly welcome interdisciplinary submissions and submissions that focus on innovative, non-binary linguistic strategies and/or with sociolinguistically-informed perspectives. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Models or methods for assessing and mitigating gender bias
- New resources for inclusive language and gender translation (e.g., datasets, translation memories, dictionaries)
- Social, cross-lingual, and ethical implications of gender bias
- Qualitative and quantitative analyses on the potential limits of current approaches to gender bias in translation and MT, error taxonomies as well as best practices and guidelines
- User-centric case studies on the impact of biased language and/or mitigating approaches which can include translators, post-editors, or monolingual MT users
GITT is also open to other non-listed topics aligned with the scope of the workshop and works focusing on non-textual modalities (e.g., audiovisual translation)
**Submission**
We welcome four types of submissions, two archival and two non-archival.
ARCHIVAL
- Research papers: of at least 4 up to 10 pages (excluding references)
- Extended Abstracts: up to 2 pages (including references)
Accepted papers and extended abstracts consisting of novel work will be published online as proceedings in the ACL Anthology.
NON-ARCHIVAL
- Research Communications: up to 2 pages (including references).
We include a parallel submission policy in the form of Research Communications for papers related to the topic of GITT that were accepted in other venues in 2024 and 2025.
- Potluck Communications: short abstract up to 500 words (including references).
Potluck Communications offer a space for anyone—especially students and early career researchers—to discuss bold new ideas for collaboration, brainstorm about ongoing work, and explore future research directions.
The communications will not be included in the proceedings, but will serve to promote the dissemination of research aligned with the scope of the workshop.
All submissions should adhere to the MT Summit 2025 guidelines and style templates (PDF, LaTeX, Word) and be uploaded on Easychair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=mtsummit2025)

Workshop Summary
The increasing adoption of language-oriented AI systems offers
unprecedented opportunities for positive societal impact. NLP technologies
have matured to the point where they can meaningfully contribute to
addressing global challenges like poverty, hunger, healthcare, education,
inequality, COVID-19, and climate change, aligning with the UN
sustainability goals.
This workshop aims to advance innovative NLP research that benefits
society, emphasizing responsible methods and impactful applications. We
welcome submissions in areas including, but not limited to:
-
Grounding NLP in Real-World Impact: Beyond improving model performance,
how can NLP systems be directly tied to social outcomes? This could include
case studies of real-world deployments or strategies for better deployment
and maintenance practices.
-
Underexplored Applications: While NLP for healthcare and mental
well-being is well-established, we encourage research tackling overlooked
areas such as poverty, hunger, energy, and climate change.
-
Interdisciplinary Collaborations: We highly value work that integrates
insights from other fields, such as social science, political science,
economics, philanthropy, and HCI, and we encourage submissions of case
studies or examples that highlight such collaborations.
Special Theme: NLP for Climate Change
This year, we spotlight NLP’s role in addressing climate change—an area
that remains underexplored in the NLP community. We invite research on
climate-focused applications, such as fact-checking, question-answering,
and initiatives to make NLP models more environmentally sustainable.
Attendees will have the chance to share results and ideas with NGO
representatives working on climate issues.
Submission Types
We encourage diverse contributions, including:
-
Identifying social needs and affected demographics.
-
Proposing new tasks or directions through position papers.
-
Conducting literature reviews or philosophical discussions on NLP’s
societal impact.
-
Designing user studies, surveys, or ethical frameworks.
-
Exploring interdisciplinary methods and collaboration strategies.
Submissions must address the ethical and societal implications of the work,
with a clear focus on defining and achieving positive impact. We look
forward to fostering discussions that inspire actionable, responsible
advancements in NLP for the greater good.

==============
We invite submissions to the fifth biennial conference on Language, Data
and Knowledge (LDK 2025) to be held in Naples, Italy in September 2025.
This conference aims to bring together researchers from across different
disciplines concerned with the acquisition, treatment, curation and the
use of language data in the context of data science and knowledge-based
applications. This edition builds upon the success of the inaugural
event held in Galway, Ireland in 2017, the second LDK in Leipzig,
Germany in 2019, the third LDK in Zaragoza, Spain in 2021, and the
fourth LDK in Vienna, Austria in 2023.

We welcome submissions of relevance to the topics listed below.
Submissions can be in the form of:
Long papers: 9–12 pages;

All submission lengths are given including references. Accepted
submissions will be published in an open-access conference proceedings
volume and indexed in ACL anthology and DBLP, free of charge for
authors. The ACL templates should therefore be used for all conference
submissions.
As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be
anonymised. Papers should be submitted via OpenReview at the following
address:
