This is a school for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, similar in
spirit to the annual ESSLLI summer schools in Europe and also to the
Sino-European Summer School on Logic, Language, and Computation, which took
place in Guangzhou, China in December 2010.
* The program of EASLLC 2012 will consist of nine courses in three
different tracks: logic, language, and computation.
* The program will also feature one plenary evening talk for a wider
audience given by one of the lecturers of the School.
* There will be student sessions in the late afternoon/early evening
of some days of the School in which students will give short
presentations of work in progress. The deadline for submissions to
the student session will be announced later.
* In addition, a mentoring program is being planned. Selected students
will be assigned one of the lecturers as mentor for informal
interaction and discussions on research and career goals during the
School.
* Prior to the School, an International Conference will take place on
August 25 and 26, 2012. The program will consist of a combination of
invited talks and contributed talks based on papers submitted to the
program committee of that event
