32nd European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information - ESSLLI 2020
3-14 August, 2020, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Proposals for courses and workshops are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computation. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are encouraged. Each course/workshop will consist of five 90-minute sessions, offered daily in a single week. Proposals for 2-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses. The ESSLLI program committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals.
Proposals should fall under one of the following categories:
FOUNDATIONAL COURSES present the basics of a research area to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be pitched at an elementary level, without prerequisites related to the topic of the course. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the relevant fundamental concepts/techniques.
INTRODUCTORY COURSES introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some familiarity with and competence in the topic in question. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.
ADVANCED COURSES are targeted primarily at those who wish to acquire a higher level of understanding in the current research on a given topic.
WORKSHOPS focus on specialized topics. Workshop organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop program, and for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.
Submission Guidelines
Course and workshop proposals can be submitted and presented by no more than two lecturers/organizers. All instructors/organizers must have a PhD or equivalent by the submission deadline.
Course proposals should state the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify prerequisites in detail.
Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli20
and include:
a. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage
