SLTU-CCURL 2020 would have been pleased to offer two tutorials, which should have been held at the Université Aix-Marseille, near the LREC 2020 venue, on 10 May 2020.
Unfortunately, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, both tutorials were suspended.

From 2013 to 2015, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow and later as an Assistant Research Scientist at the Center for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP). Since 2017, he has been an Associate Research Scientist with CLSP.Prof. Dr. Achim Rabus holds the Chair of Slavic Linguistics at the University of Freiburg, Germany. From 2013 until 2016 he was employed as a Professor at the University of Jena and the Aleksander Brückner Center for Polish studies at the Universities of Halle and Jena. Since 2009, Rabus has been a member of the Special Commission on the Computer-Supported Processing of Medieval Slavonic Manuscripts and Early Printed Books to the International Committee of Slavists, and since 2018, the President of the Commission. He has been involved in several philological, sociolinguistic, digital humanities, and corpus linguistics projects.

More details about these tutorials will be announced here later on.
Attendance to these tutorials will be free of charge, but registration will be required for organisational purposes (since the number of attendees will be limited to 25 per tutorial).
