As part of the 2nd ENEOLI General Meeting in Budapest, we are delighted to host a dedicated session for Young Researchers and Innovators (YRI, under the age of 40 at the moment of applying to ENEOLI) on April 11, 2025, from 11:00 to 12:30, at the Auditorium of the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics.

Presenters will begin with a one-minute pitch and continue with their poster presentation. This session offers a broader perspective, encouraging emerging researchers in neology to share their insights and methodologies in lexical innovation, fostering the exchange of ideas, collaborative discussion, and constructive feedback beyond the scope of current WG plans.

This pitch and poster session provide young researchers with a valuable opportunity to connect with the ENEOLI network, receive constructive feedback, and contribute to advancements in neology research. 

YRI session proposals may include contributions in three tracks:

• Planned work: Initial ideas outlining upcoming research in neology, ideal for receiving early feedback and suggestions.
• Work in progress: Ongoing research presenting preliminary findings or methodological advancements in lexical innovation.
• Completed work: Finished studies offering insights or findings relevant to ENEOLI’s WGs.

Submission guidelines for posters and pitches:

• Submissions are open to YRIs who are members of ENEOLI or are actively involved in neology research. For those who still need to become members, we warmly encourage you to apply for ENEOLI membership through the COST website. This will connect you with a dynamic network of researchers and practitioners in neology.
• Submissions must be in English and anonymized.
• Abstract of a maximum of 300 words, detailing the research purpose, methodology, and key insights.
• The proposals must be sent via OpenReview by December 31, 2024.
• The submission link to OpenReview is accessible here.

The Program Committee will peer-review all proposals based on relevance, originality, and clarity. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by January 31, 2025.

Requirements for the YRI Session:

• 1-Minute Pitch: Accepted abstracts must be presented with a one-slide summary to introduce the work.
• Poster Format: Posters should be A1 size (594 x 841 mm), in portrait orientation, and include the title, authors, objectives, methods, and key findings.
