Formerly known as CASE, the workshop continues its mission of bringing together researchers from natural language processing, machine learning, computational social science, and related disciplines to advance research on event extraction and understanding. This year{'}s edition particularly emphasized the growing influence of large language models (LLMs), multimodal learning, and weakly supervised methodologies in event extraction research. The workshop featured six regular research papers covering topics such as low-resource event extraction, reflective multi-agent architectures, symbolic auditing of procedural events, geopolitical event extraction, and generative event extraction strategies. In addition, EEUCA 2026 hosted two shared tasks focusing on toxicity detection in gaming communities and multimodal vaccine-critical meme analysis, attracting broad international participation and encouraging research on socially impactful applications of AI. The workshop highlights current advances, emerging challenges, and future directions in multilingual, multimodal, and socially aware event extraction systems."
