CALL FOR COURSE and WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

19th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information ESSLLI 2007 August 6 - 17, 2007, Dublin, Ireland

The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI, http://www.folli.org) in different sites around Europe.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation. ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic and Computation.

Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting up to 500 students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and Information.

The ESSLLI 2007 Program Committee invites proposals for foundational, introductory, and advanced courses, and for workshops for the 19th annual Summer School on a wide range of timely topics that have demonstrated their relevance in the following fields: - Logic and Language - Logic and Computation - Language and Computation
