  • 3 - 14 August 2026, 37th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI 2026), Prague (Czech Republic)

    Date: 3 - 14 August 2026
    Location: Prague (Czech Republic)
    Deadline: Wednesday 1 October 2025

    Under the auspices of the Association for Logic, Language, and Information (FoLLI), the European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) runs every year. Except for 2021, when the school was virtual, it runs in a different European country each year. It takes place over two weeks in the summer, hosts approximately 50 different courses at levels that run from foundational to introductory to advanced, and attracts around 400 participants from all over the world. In 2026, ESSLLI returns to Prague after exactly 30 years.

    The main focus of ESSLLI is the interface between linguistics, logic and computation, with special emphasis on human linguistic and cognitive ability. Courses, both introductory and advanced, cover a wide variety of topics within the combined areas of interest: Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, and Language and Logic. Workshops are also organized, providing opportunities for in-depth discussion of issues at the forefront of research, as well as a series of invited evening lectures.
