Applications are open to be the representative of the UK in the PhD student poster session at the CLARIN Annual Conference, to be held in Brighton this year 29 September to 1 October. The selected student will attend the conference in person and present on a topic relating to digital language resources. They should not have been awarded their PhD before the conference. The selected student will present a poster at the event in the dedicated session. See more here:

For the winner of the place at the main conference, registration, accommodation and meals are funded by CLARIN conference organizers, and they can apply for some help with travel expenses within the UK.
In the past three years, PhD students from Wolverhampton, Lancaster and King's have attended the conference and presented their PhD work in progress in the poster session, and found this to be an excellent opportunity to meet fellow graduate students from around Europe, find out more about CLARIN, and discover opportunities for future work and study.
Nominations are now open until 17:00 Monday, 29th June. We will have a swift selection process, assessing and ranking the applications on the basis of:
1. academic quality,
2. relevance to CLARIN (i.e. contribution to a sustainable ecosystem of language resources and tools),
3. potential benefit to the student of attending the conference this year.
We invite nominations from PhD candidates enrolled at UK institutions. If you are a supervisor, or anyone who knows students who you think are eligible, ask them to apply via this form:

The form asks for basic details and a 500-word summary of their topic. Selected students will have an opportunity to revise their abstracts before the conference.
