• As a follow-up to the IWPT'09 panel session, Djamé Seddah has put together researchers from various universities and countries to write a workshop proposal on Parsing for Morphologically-Rich Languages. This proposal has been accepted by a joint commitee of the most prestigious conference in worlwide NLP, and the workshop will be held in 2010 as a satellite event to the NAACL conference. Djamé Seddah is heading the scientific committee of the workshop, of which Marie Candito is a member. Benoît Crabbé and Benoît Sagot are members of the reviewing committee.
