The Junior Researchers Meeting allows early career applied linguists to present their research and network in an interactive and informal international environment. "Junior Researchers" include those working on their Master’s and PhD theses, as well as those who have graduated within the last three years.

At the conference, each paper session will have designated senior researchers as commentators to guarantee questions and discussion. The programme will also include workshops on various aspects of academic career, such as publishing and seeking for funding.
