We invite proposals for individual papers, panel sessions, posters, and demonstrations for the 16th annual Conference and Members’ Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI).
This year’s TEI Conference will serve as a platform for various fields and therefore offers an especially flexible and open Call for Papers.
You are encouraged to submit a TEI-topic of your own particular interest as a contribution to a multidisciplinary conference.
The title of TEI 2016 will be announced in due time based on your contributions. In the meantime, we will give equal attention to all submissions related to the Text Encoding Initiative.
One highlight of the conference will be the work of the Technical Council. A plenary session will be dedicated to exploring questions the council and membership may have for each other. "Whither TEI?" is a possible name for that particular session. Contributions from TEI and Technical Council members to this session are warmly invited.
