The annual FSiM workshop was originally started as a place for young researchers from the field of formal semantics and pragmatics to present their work in a lively and friendly setting. So while the workshop today is not restricted to only young and/or student researchers, papers by young researchers are especially welcome. There is no registration fee for the workshop. Crash space will be available upon request.

There are two satellite workshops in Moscow this April: FSIM 4 (April 5-6) and Syntactic Structures 2, to be held on April 3-4, a conference devoted to syntax of natural language, but not limited to a single paradigm, allowing to meet both people studying syntax from a more theoretical perspective and those taking a more typology-based and hands-on-data direction. One may find more information on Syntactic Structures 2 at http://syntactic-structures.ru
