This year\u2019s theme, \u201cExploring Intersections between Heritage, Communication, and Digital Humanities\u201d, invites scholars, educators, and practitioners to engage in critical discussions on how language and intercultural communication intersect with heritage studies and digital humanities in a rapidly evolving digital era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an increasingly interconnected world, digital tools and technologies are transforming how we engage with linguistic and cultural heritage. From the digitisation of archives to AI-driven language learning tools, the intersections between digital humanities and heritage studies present new opportunities and challenges for intercultural communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This conference aims to explore these dynamics, addressing questions such as: How can digital humanities reshape language learning and intercultural competence? In what ways does heritage preservation influence communication? What role do digital platforms play in fostering inclusive and accessible intercultural dialogue? How can digital technologies contribute to the preservation of cultural memory while ensuring its relevance for future generations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-medium-font-size\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-vertical is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#ededf3\">\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-1\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">The role of digital humanities in language learning and teaching<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-2\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Cross-disciplinary approaches to digital humanities and language education<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-3\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Ethical and accessibility considerations in digital humanities and language education<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-4\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Digital-born cultural narratives and their influence on intercultural understanding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-5\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Heritage preservation, cultural identity and communication<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-6\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Digital communication as a space for intercultural dialogue and heritage engagement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-7\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Pedagogical innovation at the intersection of language, heritage, and digital technologies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-8\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Multimodal and digital storytelling in intercultural communication<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-container-content-9\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.5\">Artificial intelligence and its implications for multilingual and intercultural exchanges<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#376092\"><strong>Submission guidelines<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Extended abstracts for paper\/poster presentations must be in English, with 600-1000 words, up to 5 keywords and 5 references, and a short biographical note. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong>Abstract submission deadline<\/strong> | 7 September 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Submission email<\/strong> | <a href=\"mailto:estga-laicl@ua.pt\">estga-laicl@ua.pt<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;use the following template to submit your proposal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/laicl.web.ua.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/LaICL25_AbstractProposal_authors-surname.docx\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download><strong>Abstract submission form<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-b326a872c773559bc306d67fd4946bfe\" style=\"color:#376092\"><strong>Conference structure<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">13-14 November 2025 | Paper presentations (in-person &amp; online)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paper presentations should not exceed 20 minutes.
