In addition, scholars can apply to engage in one or several (sub)working groups by letting us know their interest. There are four different types of working groups: (1) Language specific Historic Strings collection and creation, (2) New categorisations, (3) Underlying causes, and (4) Code allocation. See for more information the call for expression of interest. Processing of all answers will start in early October 2024.
