Main Conference: 19th - 23rd April 2021
Workshop Dates: 19th - 20th April 2021
***Paper Submission Deadline: 27th November 2020 ****

You CAN submit a paper to the main deadline, even if you didn't participate in the pre-submission mentoring.
The EACL 2021 Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a forum for student researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing.
The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their education: including undergraduate, masters, junior and senior PhD students.
We invite papers in two different categories:
Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for advanced PhD students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and broader ideas for their continuing work.
Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author **MUST BE** a current graduate or undergraduate student. Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as EACL main conference https://2021.eacl.org/calls/papers/.
Please see the submission guidelines page for more information: Submission Guidelines
All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented in the main conference poster session, giving students an opportunity to interact with and present their work to a large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned mentors.
Submissions (in both categories) may either be archival or non-archival, based on the wishes of the authors. All archival papers will be published in the EACL 2021 SRW Proceedings. All non-archival papers may be submitted to any venue in the future except another SRW.
Each participant is also assigned a mentor - an experienced researcher - who can provide valuable advice on the submission during the pre-submission period and mentoring during the conference.
Pre-submission mentoring deadline: 2nd October 2020
Pre-submission mentoring feedback: 6th November 2020
Paper submission deadline: 27th November 2020
Acceptance notification: 22th January 2021
Camera-ready deadline: 12th February 2021
EACL conference dates: 19th April - 23rd April 2021
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth").
We accept both archival submissions (i.e., the work can be included in the conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (the work will be presented in the workshop, but will not be part of the proceedings).
The “archival” submissions should follow the anonymity period and restrictions of the main conference as appears in https://2021.eacl.org/calls/papers/.
All papers consist of up to five (5) pages of content, plus unlimited references. Upon acceptance, papers will be given six (6) content page. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewers’ comments in their final versions.
Paper submissions must use the official EACL 2021 style templates. All submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in these template files. The review process is blind hence all submissions must be anonymized.
