[SIGCIS-Members] CfP - Unicode Technology Workshop (due June 1)

[Anushah Hossain]

Please consider participating in the Unicode Technology Workshop this year,
taking place Oct 20-23 in Nancy, France! The event brings together an
interdisciplinary group of technologists, policy makers, and academics
interested in language technologies. Historians are very welcome - last
year we had an excellent keynote by Marc Weber from the Computer History
Museum.

Best,
Anushah

*Call for Proposals Now Open!*Unicode’s annual conference is leaving the
Bay Area for the first time in over twenty years, taking place this year in
Nancy, France. The event is being organized in partnership with the Missing
Scripts collaborative, which includes the Script Encoding Initiative at UC
Berkeley, the Atelier National de Recherche Typographique in Nancy, and the
Institut Designlabor Gutenberg in Mainz.

Our theme this year is *Unicode in the World*
<https://www.unicode.org/events/utw/2026/>. This can stand for many things
–  the role of Unicode’s standards, algorithms, and data as used across
various technology stacks, or perhaps the diverse experiences with text
technologies by internet users around the world.

We invite you to submit proposals to be part of this exciting program.

*The deadline for submissions is June 1st, 2026.*Two types of submissions
are possible:
– *Tutorials: *one or more 90-minute slots for interactive, workshop-style
classes meant to build relevant skills
– *Sessions: *a 45-minute slot for a delivered talk, encompassing research
seminars, case studies, and more

Please take a look at the key dates below, and share widely with your
networks!
