Call for Participation

Content and Goals

EUROLAN-2025 will bring together researchers and experts in machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), reasoning systems, and computational linguistics applied to natural language processing (NLP), with a special focus on the interaction between NLP, complex networks, and agentic AI.

Following the tradition of previous EUROLAN schools (see past editions), the programme will include:

• tutorials, offering in-depth insights into key concepts;
• hands-on exercises, applying lecture content to real-world
• problems and developing small-scale applications;
• brainstorming discussions, encouraging direct interaction with
• experts and fostering collaborative discussions;
• networking and social evenings
• city tour, gala dinner, excursion.

EUROLAN is open to students at the master and PhD levels as well as young researchers and/or practitioners in any area of expertise. Exceptional undergraduates who demonstrate a strong interest in Complex Networks, Agentic AI, and NLP are also welcome.

Tutorials and practical sessions will deal with the following principal topics:

• Graph-Based Representations of Text and Knowledge
• Social Network Analysis for Linguistic Modeling
• Influence Propagation and Discourse Dynamics in Online Platforms
• Multimodal NLP: Integrating Text, Image, and Speech Processing
• NLP and Agentic AI

The School will include a half-day visit in the city of Timișoara and a half-day excursion to the West Romanian Region, where participants will discover cultural sites and traditions (including local food and wine).

A detailed programme is available on the EUROLAN website (please consult periodically, as changes may be made).

SYNASC related event

EUROLAN-2025 is closely coordinated with SYNASC-2025 (Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing), which will be held at the West University of Timisoara on September 22-25. SYNASC covers topics related to symbolic computation, numerical computing, artificial intelligence, distributed computing and theory of computing. For more information see General Information – SYNASC 2025.

Students with an accepted paper in SYNASC or in any of its related workshops will benefit from a reduction by half of the EUROLAN fee. PhD Students are encouraged to submit their work to the PhD Special Session.

Accommodation

Low-cost accommodation for EUROLAN-2025 participants will be available in the University’s hostel (single or shared double rooms). Alternatively, participants may opt for a number of hotels in the city of Timisoara (a list can be found on the website, here).
