At each PALMYR workshop, visitors give talks about their current research interests, each presentation being commented by a fellow researcher from the host town.

PALMYR IX will be held at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC), University of Amsterdam, Science Park 904, 1098 XH Amsterdam.
