*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short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on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.

post-review topics, contact eacl2027-pcs [at]
