The 16th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information,
organized by LORIA, takes place in Nancy, France, August 9-20, 2004.

The ESSLLI Summer Schools are organized under the auspices of FoLLI, the
European Association for Logic, Language and Information.

The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface between linguistics, logic
and computation. The school has developed into an important meeting place
and forum for discussion for students, researchers and IT professionals
interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and
Information.

In previous editions of ESSLLI the courses covered a wide variety of
topics within six areas of interest: Logic, Computation, Language, Logic
and Computation, Computation and Language, Language and Logic. Since the
14th edition of ESSLLI special emphasis is given to the interface between
the basic areas (Logic, Language, and Computation) offering about 50
courses, organized into three interdisciplinary areas (Language &
Computation, Language & Logic, and Logic & Computation), at a variety of
levels (foundational, introductory, advanced), as well as a number of
workshops.

Foundational courses aim to provide truly introductory courses into a
field. The courses presuppose absolutely no background knowledge. In
particular, they should be accessible to people from other disciplines.

Introductory courses are intended to equip students and young researchers
with a good understanding of a field's basic methods and techniques, and
to allow experienced researchers from other fields to acquire the key
competences of neighboring disciplines, thus encouraging the development
of a truly interdisciplinary research community.

Advanced courses are intended to enable participants to acquire more
specialized knowledge about topics they are already familiar with.

Workshops are intended to encourage collaboration and the
cross-fertilization of ideas by stimulating in-depth discussion of issues
which are at the forefront of current research in the field. In these
workshops, students and researchers can give presentations of their
research.

In addition to courses and workshops there are evening lectures, a student
session and a number of satellite events (to be announced later). The aim
of the student session is to provide Masters and PhD students with an
opportunity to present their own work to a professional audience, thereby
getting informed feedback on their own results. Unlike workshops, the
student session is not tied to any specific theme.

Previous ESSLLI summer schools have been highly successful, attracting
around 500 participants from Europe and elsewhere.
