Hello all,
On behalf of the Celtic Knot Conference organising team, I have plenty of
exciting news to share about the event dedicated to Celtic languages on the
Wikimedia projects!
The Celtic Knot Language Conference is a gathering that acknowledges the
diversity of Celtic language communities and their presence within the
global Wikimedia ecosystem. Rooted in the spirit of collaboration and
community empowerment, this event serves as a nexus for language
enthusiasts, Wikimedia contributors, cultural advocates, academics and
researchers to come together and explore innovative approaches to language
preservation, promotion, and recognition of Celtic and minority languages
in the digital space.
The conference will take place on September 25th-27th, 2024, onsite in
Waterford City, Ireland. Keep an eye on the event page for more updates
including details about the venue, program and registration soon! details
about the venue, program, registration and other updates will be added to
the event page in due time. [1]
As we are currently building the program for the conference, we would love
to invite community members to contribute to the event by giving a
presentation, a lightning talk, running a workshop or submitting a poster. The
call for program proposals is now open until Sunday, July 14th. You can
make a proposal directly on Wiki or using a form. You will find all the
details and instructions on the Call for submissions page. [2]
To support participants coming from Ireland or Europe to attend the event,
we are offering scholarships to cover event tickets, travel and
accommodation. For people located in other areas of the world or people who
cannot join onsite, we are offering e-scholarships covering data packages
to watch the conference from home. The scholarship application process is
now open until Sunday, June 30th. You can find the form and the
