Call for Main Conference Papers
*EACL 2027*: 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
March 9-14, 2027, Athens, Greece
*Special Theme*: The Human in Language *ARR submission deadline*: Aug 3, 2026 *EACL commitment deadline*: Oct 11, 2026 *Details*: https://2027.eacl.org/calls/papers/
*Overview*
The 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2027) invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on Natural Language Processing. EACL 2027 will take place in Athens, Greece, from March 9 to 14, 2027.
*Submission information*
EACL 2027 will use ACL Rolling Review (ARR) as its reviewing system, but final decisions will be made by the conference. Both the submission of articles for review and the commitment of reviewed articles to the conference will be handled via the OpenReview platform, in a two-step process:
Authors submit articles to ARR, where submissions receive reviews and meta-reviews from ARR reviewers and action editors.
Authors commit their reviewed articles to a publication venue (e.g.
EACL 2027), where Senior Area Chairs and Program Chairs make acceptance decisions from the ARR reviews and meta-reviews.
Papers must be submitted, at the latest, by the ARR 2026 August cycle. Papers that have received reviews and a meta-review from ARR (whether from the ARR 2026 August cycle or an earlier ARR cycle) may be committed to EACL via the commitment link. Dual submissions are not allowed. The authors should contact ARR with any questions about the review process at editors [at] aclrollingreview.org. For questions about commitment and post-review topics, contact eacl2027-pcs [at] googlegroups.com.

*Special Theme: The Human in Language*
The EACL 2027 special theme, "The Human in Language", invites papers that explore how the human sciences of language can inform and shape NLP research across the full research cycle: model development, representation learning, data collection and annotation, evaluation, interpretability, interaction, and deployment. We also welcome work that uses NLP methods and contemporary language models to advance the scientific study of language, cognition, communication, and the brain, while the central focus of the track remains on strengthening the role of the language sciences as a source of scientific grounding, methodological guidance, and conceptual insight for NLP itself.
*Long Papers*
Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices. Upon acceptance, long papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 9 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account.
*Short Papers*
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. A short paper is not a shortened long paper; instead, short papers should have a point that can be made in a few pages. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references and appendices. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 5 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account.
*Presentation at the Conference*
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings. The conference will include both in-person and virtual presentation options. Papers without at least one presenting author registered by the early registration deadline may be subject to rejection. Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters, as determined by the program committee. While short papers will be distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the proceedings between papers presented orally and papers presented as posters.
