CfWorkshops: ESSLI: 35th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information, 29 July – 9 August 2024, Leuven (Belgium)
35th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
29 July – 9 August 2024, Leuven, Belgium
https://2024.esslli.eu/
Important Dates
===============
22 December 2023: * (Extended) Deadline for submitting Workshop proposals
* (Extended) Deadline for submitting Course Titles
12 January 2024: Deadline for submitting Course proposals
9 February 2024: Notification sent to Workshop proposers
4 March 2024: Notification sent to Course proposers
The deadline for Workshop submissions and notification differs from those for Course submissions and notification, to allow participants who need a visa to attend a workshop, sufficient time to apply for one.
Topics and Format
=================
Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2024 are invited in all areas of Logic, Linguistics and Computer Science. Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged.
Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI Program Committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals.
All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and cannot guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking partial or complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources.
Categories
==========
Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.
Foundational Courses
--------------------
Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community.
Introductory Courses
--------------------
Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to 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 comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines.
Advanced Courses
----------------
Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field.
Workshops
---------
Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest.
Workshop organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop program. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings.
Proposal Guidelines
===================
Course and workshop proposals should closely follow these guidelines to ensure full consideration.
Course and Workshop proposals can be submitted by no more than two lecturers/organizers and can be presented by no more than these two lecturers/organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline.
Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category.
Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area.
Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail.
Proposals of Courses given at ESSLLI in the previous year will have a lower priority of being accepted in the current year.
Proposals must be in PDF format and include all the following information:
1. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact
address, email, homepage (optional)
2. General proposal information: Title, category
3. Contents information:
a. Abstract of up to 150 words
b. Motivation and description (up to two pages)
c. Tentative outline
d. Expected level and prerequisites
e. Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys)
4. Information required of course proposers:
a. Will the course appeal to students outside of the main discipline of
the course?
b. What experience does the proposer have in presenting an intensive
one-week interdisciplinary setting?
c. What evidence is there that the course proposer is an excellent
lecturer?
5. Information required of workshop organizers:
a. Information on relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
b. Information about potential external funding for participants.

Please submit your proposals to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2024
EACSL Sponsorship
=================
The EACSL will support one Logic and Computation course or workshop addressing topics of interest to Computer Science Logic (CSL) conferences.
The selected course or workshop will be designated an EACSL course/workshop in the programme. If you wish to be considered for this, please indicate it in your proposal.
