Scope
This workshop brings together researchers working on language contact, cultural transmission, and related phenomena, with a particular focus on the Uralic languages. It aims to encourage open discussion across disciplinary and methodological boundaries.

Aims
The workshop has three main objectives:
1. To review and discuss recent methodological approaches for detecting and modelling contact phenomena in cultural and linguistic data.
2. To present and compare case studies on contact-induced change in Uralic languages, alongside relevant examples from other families and regions.
3. To facilitate exchange between researchers working with different frameworks and tools.
