On Friday, 28 August 2026, the EMLex team at Université de Lorraine in Nancy welcomed the EMLex students for the new semester.
The welcome session brought together four first-semester EMLex students and two third-semester students, along with Maja Stange, Prof. Hélène Vinckel-Roisin and Prof. Yvon Keronmnes.
Classes officially begin this week, marking the start of another exciting semester in Nancy.
We wish the new students a bright start to life in Nancy, despite the rather rainy weather!
The European Master in Lexicography (EMLex) is an international Master’s degree programme (120 ECTS) that has been offered since 2009. Since 2016, the EMJM-EMLex has been awarded as an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree.
Researchers María José Domínguez Vázquez and Iván Arias Arias presented the ESMAS-ES+ project at the EUniWell workshop“Connecting the Dots: Multilingualism across EUniWell”, held at the Faculty of Philology of the University of Santiago de Compostela. Their contribution explored the role of multilingual approaches in the development of lexical resources and fostered collaboration across the EUniWell alliance.
The EMLex community is pleased to announce that Sékou Bah, Ahmed Shaita, and Hervé-Stéphane M'Béa have successfully completed the European Master in Lexicography (EMLex).
A small graduation celebration was held at the iconic Place Stanislas in Nancy, marking the conclusion of their studies. The graduates presented master's theses on innovative topics at the intersection of lexicography, translation, artificial intelligence, and intercultural communication:
Researchers from eight universities gathered at the University of Vigo’s Pontevedra campus to advance the Esmas-Es+ project, an initiative aimed at developing an automatic multilingual semantic tagging tool that helps computer systems understand the meaning of words and expressions more accurately. The project combines linguistics, artificial intelligence, and language technologies to create a prototype capable of automatically assigning semantic labels to texts.
We are pleased to announce the defence of the Master's theses of Nouhaila Zine Elabidine and Joseph Jegede at Roma Tre University. This academic milestone marks the culmination of their studies and research efforts and represents an important achievement in their academic journey. Congratulations to both students, and best wishes for their future academic and professional endeavours.
I recommend EMLex because this master’s program allows you to plunge into the world of dictionaries in which you are accompanied by the most renowned international lexicographers. Furthermore, due to its international and interdisciplinary structure, you get in contact with people of so many diverse cultures.

I recommend EMLex because it offers two Master programs in one: you will get the best lexicographical skills while increasing your multicultural awareness. It is a studying experience...

I recommend EMLex because the professors are really very dedicated and patient. In addition, I was able to test the knowledge acquired in Mexico, and my level of English and German improved thanks to the interaction with classmates and professors of different nationalities. I feel very fortunate to belong to such a close-knit community and to have friends in different parts of the world.

I recommend EMLex because you can acquire a fundamental education, meet professional lecturers who do their best for every student, you can learn new fields and updates related to lexicography, and nowhere else but here you can become a professional lexicographer. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to be a member of this big family. After only two months of study, I can say that reality overcame expectations.

Herbert Ernst Wiegand class (2020-2022)
I recommend EMLex because the program is well-structured, we can work with the world’s best lexicographers, and it is possible to get new knowledge and experience while studying in several European universities.
