Centre For Argument Technology

We’re changing! To mark the fact that the group is growing and to reflect the focus for which we are known, we are forming a new Centre for Argument Technology. You will be able to find us online at arg-tech.org, but all the old contact details will continue to work.

The new Centre is organising a host of exciting events over the coming months, including a workshop on Argument Mining, a graduate Summer School on Argumentation and (with the University of Aberdeen), COMMA 2014. More details will follow shortly.
