The second edition of the International Congress aims to deepen how 
artificial intelligence and other technologies can be allied by the 
creation of audiovisual and journalistic content in minority languages 
and, at the same time, strengthen their own communicative spaces. The 
congress maintains the format of the first edition with a double 
academic aspect (with calls for researchers to present communications) 
and informative, with round tables and conferences aimed at a more 
general public.

In this second edition, the Congress wants to open itself to other 
European linguistic realities, while paying attention to Aranese and the 
minority languages existing in the Iberian Peninsula. At the same time, 
we want to take the opportunity to know how other languages with more 
speakers (such as Catalan or Basque) have developed communicative 
policies to strengthen their language.

Communications in other minority languages are accepted; in this case, 
it is requested that the translation of the text be attached to any of 
the languages of the congress.

Celebration of the congress: From 26 to 27 November 2026.
Period for submitting abstracts: Until September 15, 2026.
Communication of acceptances and opening of registrations: On October 
15, the communications that have been accepted will be informed.
Registrations:
Attendants: until 31 October 2026.
Speakers with accepted communications: From 15 to 31 October 2026.
Registration for the conference is free and certificates of attendance 
and presentation will be issued once the conference is over.
