Call for Abstracts for the
MultiplEYE Final Conference
Advancing multilingual eye-tracking-while-reading research
in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia
August 20-21, 2026
The MultiplEYE COST Action invites the research community to submit abstracts to its final international
conference on eye-tracking-while-reading, bringing together work from psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, NLP, and eye-tracking methodology.
Date and venue
The conference will take place on 20-21 August 2026, in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia, at the Faculty of
Computer Science and Engineering, “Ss. Cyril and Methodius” University – Skopje.
Purpose and scope of the conference
The conference will present the main outcomes of a large-scale international collaboration involving more than 350 researchers, and will serve as an open forum for the wider eye-tracking-while-reading community. We warmly welcome contributions from researchers beyond the MultiplEYE network.
At the conference, we will introduce a new multilingual, parallel eye-tracking-while-reading corpus,
developed through a coordinated multi-lab effort. Alongside the data resource, we will present a fully open,
FAIR-compliant pipeline covering experimental presentation, preprocessing, metadata standards, and
documentation. This infrastructure is designed to promote transparency, interoperability, and reproducibility, and to support future reuse and extension by the broader eye-tracking research communities.
Beyond the core data resource, the conference will disseminate key results from the MultiplEYE working groups
on eye-tracking-while-reading methodology in general, psycholinguistic research using eye-tracking, and leveraging eye-tracking data for NLP.
These contributions aim to stimulate discussion and collaboration across disciplines and research traditions, and we therefore invite submissions on all aspects of eye-tracking-while-reading from researchers within and
beyond the MultiplEYE network, including:
- empirical studies
- computational approaches
- methodological contributions
- open science perspectives
The conference aims to foster cross-disciplinary exchange and to shape future directions in reading research
and eye-tracking methodology.
Join us to engage with a diverse international community, discover new resources and methods, and contribute to the next generation of eye-tracking research!

Travel Grants
The MultiplEYE COST Action will offer a limited number of travel grants to participants accepted to the
conference, with priority given to junior researchers from ITC countries. Please note that applicants must not book flights or accommodation until they have received and accepted the official e-COST invitation. The call for travel grants will be published after the participant selection process has been completed. Participants can be reimbursed for three types of expenses: long-distance travel, daily allowance, and visa costs. Long-distance travel covers journeys of 101 km or more one way and is reimbursed up to a maximum of 650 EUR for the round trip, provided that appropriate tickets or travel documents are submitted; plane tickets are eligible only if the total travel time by train would exceed seven hours. In addition, participants receive a fixed daily allowance of 150 EUR per day, independent of actual expenses, and visa fees can also be reimbursed upon submission of the relevant invoices.
