The 13th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI'01)  will take place at the University of Helsinki, Helsinki,
Finland, during two weeks in August, from August 13 until 24.

The ESSLLI Summer Schools are organised under the auspices of FoLLI
(http://www.folli.uva.nl), the European Association for Logic, Language
and Information.

The main focus of the European Summer Schools is the interface between
linguistics, logic and computation. Foundational, introductory and
advanced courses together with workshops cover a wide variety of topics
within six areas of interest:

  * Logic   
  * Language   
  * Computation  
  * Logic and Language
  * Logic and Computation   
  * Language and Computation 

Previous summer schools have been highly successful, attracting around 500
students from Europe and elsewhere. The school has developed into an
important meeting place and forum for discussion for students and
researchers interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language
and Information. In addition to courses, workshops and evening lectures
there will be a Student Session and a Social Program. The number of
courses offered is around 50.

A gateway between East and West, the city of Helsinki is one of the nine
