EACL 2014

Report by Stephen Clark

As announced in the previous quarterly report, Gothenburg was chosen to host EACL 2014. Since then we have chosen the General Chair, who is Shuly Wintner from the University of Haifa, and the Program Chairs: Sharon Goldwater from the Unviersity of Edinburgh and Stefan Riezler from the University of Heidelberg. Shuly has since compiled a list of conference chairs. Organisation is progressing well, in line with the standard ACL conference timeline, and there exists effective communication between EACL, the General Chair and the Local Chairs.
