The TOTh conferences aim to assemble researchers, industrialists, practitioners and, in a more general way, everyone whose interests concern terminology, language, and knowledge engineering. The TOTh program committee consists of the most prominent personalities in the domain, representing more than 20 different nationalities. French and English are the official languages.

The 10th international TOTh conference will take place on Thursday 9th and Friday 10th June, 2016 at the University of Savoie (Chambéry, France). On the occasion of this ‘anniversary’ year the focus will be on these two major turning points, i.e. the swing to linguistics and the conceptual renewal, which Terminology has experienced over the last decades.

The ‘Young Researcher’ prize is awarded by the program committee during the conference.
