On September 6, the yearly Heyting Day takes place in Amsterdam. This festive day is devoted to the celebration both of the 50 year anniversary of Categorical Foundations and of the 50 year anniversary of Kripke models. Because of the double anniversary, this day includes two Heyting lectures, to wit by Ieke Moerdijk and Johan van Benthem.

The study of first language acquisition is crucial in furthering our understanding of the cognitive prerequisites and processes involved in language, a defining capacity of human cognition. Currently, early language acquisition is successfully studied from two main perspectives: one approach tests theoretical assumptions by studying infants' responses with behavioural and neurocognitive methods; the other implements theories by means of computational models. This workshop aims to bring these two approaches closer together, a much needed advance in the field and one that promises to deepen our understanding of the issues that play a role during language acquisition.
