  • ESSLLI_2026_registration_open.pdf

    3 - 14 August 2026, 37th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2026), Prague [CZ]

    Date & Time: 3 - 14 August 2026, 09:00-19:00
    Location: Prague [CZ]
    Target audience: university students
    Costs: 500 Euros

    The registration is open for the 37th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI).

    ESSLLI is a yearly recurring event, which has been organized since 1989. It provides an interdisciplinary setting in which courses and workshops are offered in logic, linguistics and computer science. Courses (foundational, introductory and advanced) and workshops cover a wide variety of topics within three interdisciplinary areas of interest: language and computation, logic and language, and logic and computation. In addition to the workshops and courses there are usually four evening lectures, given by prominent researchers, on topics that are at the forefront of research in logic, language and computer science, also from wider scientific, historical, and philosophical perspectives. Its relevance to students of artificial intelligence is evident.

  • LesDiablerets.jpg

    16 - 21 August 2026, Quantum Key Distribution Summer School, Les Diablerets

    Date: 16 - 21 August 2026
    Location: Les Diablerets
    Target audience: MSc and PhD students
    Costs: 450 CHF

    While classical cryptographic schemes always have to fear the risk of being broken, in particular with the possibility that quantum computers are built, quantum cryptography promises unconditional security solely based on the laws of physics. This field of research is currently in an exciting phase in which theoretical concepts and ideas are not only experiencing the transition to experimental implementations, but are also attracting the interest of industry.

    Location: Providence RI [USA]
    Target audience: Master and PhD students

    This workshop aims to teach participants the fundamentals of higher category theory using the proof assistant Rzk. The participants will learn both the classical point of view and the type theoretic point of view in two lecture series, and, in the exercise sessions, will learn how to use the proof assistant Rzk to prove basic higher categorical results.

    Students with some familiarity with homotopy theory, category theory, homotopy type theory, and/or proof assistants who are interested in learning about ∞-categories are particularly encouraged.

  • 21 - 22 September 2026, 3rd Conference of the European Network for Digital Democracy (EDDY), Vienna [AT]

    Date: 21 - 22 September 2026
    Location: Vienna [AT]

    In recent years, digital democracy has become a subject of academic research and is being put into practice around the world. However, the scientific investigations and practices of digital democracy are currently still living mostly in separate universes. The aim of this conference is to further advance digital democracy, by bringing together academics and practitioners actively working on or with digital democracy. This way we want to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange. 

    In line with this aim, the conference will feature contributed talks, social and interactive sessions and both academic and non-academic keynote speakers, such as Manon Revel (Google Deepmind) and Graham Wetherall-Grujic (The Innovation in Politics Institute, Berlin).

  • 21 - 23 September 2026, CiLD 2026: Construal in Language and Discourse (extended deadline), University of Łódź [PL]

    Date: 21 - 23 September 2026
    Location: University of Łódź [PL]

    The conference will focus on construal in linguistics, encompassing, though not limited to, cognitive linguistics, forensics, discourse studies, pragmatics, social interaction, narrative, storytelling, and literature. By bringing all these approaches together, the conference aims to establish construal as a unifying concept for understanding meaning in language and discourse.

    The conference adopts a flexible view of the relationship between construal and linguistic expression/coding. Construal refers broadly to how events, participants, relations, inferences, evaluations, and temporal structures are conceptualised, framed, and made salient, while verbal and non-verbal resources—lexical, grammatical, prosodic, gestural, visual, and multimodal—are among the means through which such construals are communicated and negotiated in discourse.
