The MT Summit brings together researchers, developers, and language industry professionals to focus on machine translation. First held in 1987 in Japan, the MT Summit is organized biennially, alternating between different continents. Next year will mark its twentieth edition and the seventh in Europe, following previous conferences in Munich (1989), Luxembourg (1995), Santiago de Compostela (2001), Copenhagen (2007), Nice (2013), and Dublin (2019).
The conference will span five days, including two days dedicated to workshops and tutorials. The main conference will feature four tracks: research/technical, research/translators and users, implementations and case studies, and products and projects.

Code of conduct
The EAMT adheres to the ACM Code of Ethics, the ACL’s anti-harassment policy, and the ACL Code of Conduct (adapted below). By registering, participants acknowledge and agree to follow these policies, and violations against them should be reported to the EAMT executive committee.
EAMT Code of Conduct (adopted from *ACL conferences)
The open exchange of ideas, the freedom of thought and expression, and respectful scientific debate are central to the aims and goals of the EAMT. These require a community and an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group, that fosters dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and embraces diversity. For these reasons, we are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for all the members, as well as participants at our events and in our programs.
Harassment and hostile behavior are unwelcome at any EAMT conference, associated event, or in EAMT-affiliated online discussions. This includes: speech or behavior that intimidates, creates discomfort, or interferes with a person’s participation or opportunity for participation in a conference or an event. We aim for our activities to be an environment where harassment in any form does not happen, including but not limited to: harassment based on race, gender, religion, age, color, appearance, national origin, ancestry, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Harassment includes degrading verbal comments, deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. The policy is not intended to inhibit challenging scientific debate, but rather to promote it by ensuring that all are welcome to participate in the shared spirit of scientific inquiry. Vexatious complaints and willful misuse of this procedure will render the complainant subject to the same sanctions as a violation of the anti-harassment policy.
It is the responsibility of the community as a whole to promote an inclusive and positive environment for our scholarly activities. In addition, anyone who experiences harassment or hostile behavior may contact any member of the EAMT executive committee. Members of this committee will be instructed to keep any such contact in strict confidence, and those who approach the committee will be consulted before any actions are taken.
