It is with great pleasure that we announce the 17th MT Marathon will take place in Prague on September 2-7, 2024.

This is a call for abstracts, projects, and participation.

The seventeenth edition of the MT Marathon will be organized by the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (ÚFAL), Charles University, with sponsorship of EAMT.

Each Machine Translation Marathon is a week-long gathering of machine
translation researchers, developers, students and users featuring:

MT Lectures and Labs covering the basics and tutorials.
Keynote Talks from experienced researchers and practitioners.
Presentations of research and open source tools related to MT.
Hacking Projects to advance tools or research in one week or start new collaborations.

** Call for abstracts **
The MT Marathon will host an open session with poster presentations related to MT research and open-source tools. We invite students, developers and researchers to submit short abstracts (1 page) featuring previously published results, open-source tool demos, and work in progress. Abstracts are lightly reviewed for topical scope, and all relevant submissions will be accepted for presentation.

Important dates:
July 5, 2024 Registration opens
July 17, 2024 Abstract submission deadline
July 24, 2024 Notification of acceptance

September 2-7, 2024 MT Marathon in Prague

** Call for project proposals **
As always, project topics will get finalized on the first day of the Marathon, but it was found useful in the past to announce and refine project proposals earlier.
