The Student Session at ESSLLI

Under the auspices of FoLLI an annual European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) is organized. The main focus of the program of the summer schools is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis on human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses at ESSLLI cover a wide variety of topics within six areas of interest: Logic, Computation, Language, Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, Language and Logic. There are also several workshops providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited lectures.

The Student Sessions. During ESSLLI'96 in Prague, by way of experiment, the First ESSLLI Student Session was organized. From the beginning, the intention of the Student Session has been to provide an informal forum where promising work by students working on their Master or Ph.D. degree could be presented. The Student Session creates the possibility for the students to present their work in front of a broad audience and obtain feedback from peers. The resulting proceedings of each year's Student Session demonstrate that this setup can prove highly successful, both in selecting high-quality contributions and obtaining reviewers that are among the outstanding experts in their fields. All in all, the Student Session is proving itself as a very valuable addition to \esslli. The ever increasing number of submissions, coming from all over the world, definitely shows that there is an interest in a forum like this.
