In a context marked by intensified and renewed relationships between science and society, numerous national and institutional initiatives currently emphasise the need for shared and co‑constructed forms of knowledge production. The French National Research Agency’s Science with and for Society (SAPS) programme illustrates this dynamic by supporting more than a hundred participatory research projects bringing together researchers, citizens, and territorial stakeholders around major social issues.

The 4th edition of LingCor: Workshop on Spoken Corpus Linguistics will take place at the Institut für Romanistik of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin from the 5th till the 7th October 2026. It builds on three previous editions held at the Universitat de València (2018), the Universitat d’Alacant (2019), and the University of Vienna (2024), continuing an established international forum dedicated to spoken corpus research.
