History
SIGN CONFERENCE: The conference series began as a workshop called Cross-linguistic Sign Language Research (CLSLR) in 2006 at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. This was repeated in Nijmegen in 2007 and in Preston, UK, in 2008, where the series was renamed SIGN, and SIGN4 was organised outside Europe, in India, for the first time in 2009. This conference series developed in a way that was strongly influenced by the agendas and preferences of deaf participants. The SIGN conference series has been explicitly global right from the beginning and focuses on sign language research. As mentioned previously, a global scope is important for capacity building because Deaf communities are quite small in number in many countries. In 2006, CLSLR1 started with 50 participants from 18 countries, while SIGN4 welcomed 120 participants from 25 countries. SIGN5 was held in Turkey in 2011 and welcomed over 200 participants from 30 countries.
