Call for mentors at EACL 2021
The EACL 2021 D&I committee would like to call for expressions of interest to host group mentoring sessions.
As part of the NLP community’s initiatives to improve diversity and inclusion, EACL 2021 is organising group mentoring sessions to offer students and early career researchers the opportunity to interact with and get advice from senior researchers. These virtual sessions will be structured as roundtable discussion/Q&A sessions. We will be assigning you to a session and a discussion group that you will lead, using the information you provide here.
Please fill in this form if you are interested in being a mentor at EACL 2021.
Looking forward to your submissions!

Call for affinity group socials
As part of the EACL 2021, we would like to call for expressions of interest to host affinity group socials.
Affinity group socials are meant to serve the purpose of cohort and community building, and can both be fora for scientific and social exchange. The format of virtual affinity group socials has been successful in 2020, at ACL, EMNLP and COLING, where groups like Queer in AI and Black in AI organised events. Another example could be “Linguists at EACL”, “Professors in NLP”, or anything we missed that is not primarily technical.
To express interest in organising an affinity group social, please fill in the following form by 24 March: https://forms.gle/7159FMuW7MbuZSxu5

NLP Applications for Emergency Situations and Crisis Management
By: Robert Munro
For the first time, a major NLP conference has a track on disaster response! The “NLP Applications for Emergency Situations and Crisis Management” track at EACL 2021 encourages researchers to share their work on a broad range of topics in disaster prevention, response, and recovery. As someone who has worked in both NLP and disaster response for many years, I am delighted to be the Senior Area Chair for this track and to be joined by Area Chairs, Antonios Anastasopoulos, Ishan Jindal, Rada Mihalcea, and Graham Neubig. We encourage papers that show innovation in NLP for disaster response while at the same time maintaining the privacy, safety, and dignity of crisis-affected populations. A broad-range of application areas are encouraged, including prevention, logistics support, and long-term disasters like climate change. For more on what makes a good paper, see my recent article: Research on Machine Learning for Disaster Response: what makes a good paper?

Green and Sustainable NLP
This EACL edition is proud to introduce a new track to the main session: Green and Sustainable NLP. We are excited to welcome the Green and Sustainable NLP PC chairs: Roy Schwartz and Emma Strubell, who will manage this unique track and who have kindly contributed some introductory words for the track.

Location
EACL 2021 will now be held entirely online, rather than in Kyiv as previously announced, to avoid the need for international travel and risk of further spread of COVID-19. We will take steps to ensure there is as much virtual social interaction as possible. We will post further information here as it becomes available.

Tracks and Area Chairs
EACL 2021 will feature a wide range of areas and topics and we invite people to contribute to our programme in any of the tracks listed in the call for papers (https://2021.eacl.org/calls/papers/).
Each track will be handled by domain experts and we are excited to announce the great team behind the scenes. Check out our senior area chairs in the programme committee: https://2021.eacl.org/committees/program
