We are pleased to invite you to the next edition of the RICTA meeting (Reunião Ibérica de Ciência e Tecnologia de Aerossóis, in Portuguese; and Reunión Ibérica de Ciencia y Tecnología de Aerosoles, in Spanish). This 9th edition is organised by Atmospheric Optics Group (GOA) of University of Valladolid (UVa) and will take place in Valladolid (Spain) from 1st to 3rd of July 2026. The GOA group is excited to host this vibrant meeting to bring together Spanish and Portuguese groups active in aerosol research, as well as researchers from other countries who are most welcome to attend. During the three-day event, participants will have the opportunity to network, find new and lasting collaborations, exchange ideas, create new ones, and be inspired by top-level keynote speeches, to further develop the field of aerosol research. We especially encourage the participation of young researchers, whose fresh perspectives and enthusiasm are vital to shaping the future of aerosol science and strengthening the bonds within the Iberian scientific community. The program will combine multi-disciplinarity with the highest scientific quality.

The city of Valladolid, rich in history and culture, offers a unique setting for the RICTA 2026 meeting. Participants will enjoy its renowned gastronomy and architectural heritage (the Palacio Santa Cruz, the Cathedral, the church of La Antigua and its museums) making it an ideal place to combine scientific exchange with cultural enrichment.

Welcome to the 5th International Symposium Parallel Corpora (PaCor 2025)
“(Parallel) Corpus-Based Approaches to Language and Data: Generative AI Applications in Focus”

The ACTRES Research Group, in collaboration with the Department of English Studies at the University of Valladolid, are delighted to announce the 5th International Symposium Parallel Corpora PaCor 2025. This exciting edition will take place at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras and Facultad de Comercio y Relaciones Laborales at the University of Valladolid, Spain on May 28-30th 2025.

Since its inception at the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2016, PaCor has established itself as a dynamic platform for researchers dedicated to the compilation, design, and application of parallel and multilingual corpora. Over the years, PaCor has fostered interdisciplinary collaboration among linguists, engineers, and statisticians to develop increasingly sophisticated tools and corpora that cater to diverse academic disciplines such as Lexicography, Contrastive Linguistics, Translation Studies, and Language Teaching and Learning.

Building on this rich tradition, the 2025 edition will spotlight the integration of Generative AI technologies within corpus-based research. As the field evolves to embrace advanced computational approaches, this symposium will provide an opportunity to explore the transformative potential of AI in corpus compilation, annotation, and analysis. The focus will extend to innovative applications in multilingual communication and the challenges posed by generative models in linguistics and cross-cultural studies.

PaCor 2025 aims to:

• Encourage cutting-edge research that leverages parallel corpora to investigate linguistic phenomena across languages.
• Provide a forum to discuss the theoretical, methodological, and empirical implications of integrating Generative AI tools in corpus-based research.
• Foster collaboration among experts from diverse fields to address the complexities of multilingual data processing.
• Raise critical questions for further exploration at the intersection of corpus linguistics and AI technologies.

We invite researchers from academia and industry to join us for a stimulating exchange of ideas and findings. Whether you are involved in building corpora, developing computational tools, or applying corpus-based approaches in innovative ways, PaCor 2025 will be the ideal venue to share your work and connect with the broader corpus linguistic community.

Stay tuned for updates on submission deadlines, keynote speakers, and the detailed program. We are looking forward to welcoming you to Valladolid for this milestone event!
