The series of events have run, with few exceptions, once every year, first in the format of a workshop, and since 2010 – as a conference. In order to reach wider visibility, the organisers decided to make the Conference itinerant and to publish its Proceedings in English. Thus, ConsILR is not strictly addressed to researchers working on Romanian language but also to other scientists, from any part of the world, which could find sources of inspiration in the models and techniques developed for our language and apply them for their own languages. Opening the gate for researchers working on languages other than Romanian to participate in the Conference and publish their results in this series of Proceedings, a reverse influence is also expected, namely that their work inspire scientists dealing with Romanian language. As always, this year too, the organisers of the Conference Linguistic Resources and Technologies for Romanian Language are: the Faculty of Computer Science of the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași and two institutes of the Romanian Academy: the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence “Mihai Drăgănescu”, in Bucharest, and the Institute for Computer Science, in Iași. We are honored that the Academy of Technical Sciences has offered again its high auspices to run the event under and, for the first time, the Romanian Association
