 15th European Summer School in Logic,
 Language and Information

 August 18-29, Vienna

 http://www.logic.at/esslli03/


Each year the European Association for Logic, Language and
Information, (FoLLi) organizes a European Summer School (ESSLLI) the
main focus of which is the interface between linguistics, logic and
computation. Courses at foundational, introductory and advanced level
are given, the aim of which is to provide for researchers and
postgraduate as well as advanced master students the possibility to
familiarize themselves with other areas of research, and to enable
students and researchers to acquire more specialized knowledge about
topics they are already familiar with. The school also features
several workshops, and a student session in which Master and PhD
students can present their work.

This year the 15th ESSLLI Summer School will take place at the
Technical University of Vienna, the beautiful and cultural capital of
Austria.

During two weeks 43 courses will be given. They cover a wide variety
of topics within the combined areas of interest: Language and Logic,
Language and Computation, and Logic and Computation. There will be a
series of invited lectures, and several workshops with open calls for
papers.
