This week, on 7 and 8 July 2025, the VAR4LCR conference took place in Louvain-la-Neuve. 

The event marked the culmination of a collaborative initiative between the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics at UCLouvain and the Department of English at Northern Arizona University.

The two-day conference featured a rich programme of keynote lectures, full papers, work-in-progress reports, and poster presentations. We were honoured to welcome three keynote speakers:

  • Prof. Douglas Biber (Northern Arizona University)
  • Prof. Marije Michel (University of Groningen)
  • Prof. Shelley Staples (University of Arizona)

As we reflect on the event, we leave even more convinced that this is a vibrant and growing field, and we look forward to seeing the new ideas and collaborations that will emerge from this shared experience!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in making this conference a success!
