This September marks 10 years since we launched the Lingscape app. We would like to celebrate this milestone with a small colloquium to look back on the past 10 years and kick off the next chapter of the platform. We would therefore like to warmly invite our community to join us in celebrating Lingscape’s 10th anniversary. We have invited a few partners who will share insights into their work and discuss the role Lingscape has played – or can play – in it.
We will also take this opportunity to officially unveil the new version of the platform. As I have mentioned in previous posts, we are currently rebuilding the website and mobile apps from the ground up and will be releasing the new version just in time for the 10th anniversary. The full program of the colloquium can be found below.
The event will take place on September 25, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm CEST. Anyone can participate via video using the link below to follow the program until 4:00 pm. If you’d prefer to attend in person and, hence, also would also like to join the reception after the colloquium, please send us a message so we can send you the registration link. The event will take place in the Black Box at the Maison des Sciences Humaines on Belval Campus.
