 Call for Course and Workshop Proposals

30th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information - ESSLLI 2018
6-17 August, 2018, Sofia, Bulgaria
http://esslli2018.folli.info/

Important Dates:

15 June 2017: Proposal submission deadline
15 September 2017: Notification

Topics and Format:

Proposals for courses and workshops at ESSLLI 2018 are invited in all areas of
Logic, Linguistics and Computing Sciences. Cross-disciplinary and innovative
topics are particularly encouraged.

Categories:

Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories.

- Foundational Courses:
Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people
with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level,
without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level
of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable
researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the
fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic.

- Introductory Courses:
Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to
introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other
non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and
techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to
develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory
courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the
related disciplines.

- Advanced Courses:
Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to
acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a
field.

- Workshops:
Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest. Workshops
organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop
programme. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide
to have proceedings.

- Proposal Guidelines:

Course and Workshop proposals can be submitted by no more than two
lecturers/organizers and they are presented by no more than these two
lecturers/organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or
equivalent degree by the submission deadline.

Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category.
Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for
example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area.
Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail.

Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2018

and include:

- Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address,
email, homepage (optional)

- General proposal information: Title, category

- Contents information:
-- Abstract of up to 150 words
-- Motivation and description (up to two pages)
-- Tentative outline
-- Expected level and prerequisites
-- Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys)

- Practical information:
-- Relevant preceding meetings and events, if applicable
-- Potential external funding for participants

EACSL Sponsorship:

The EACSL offers to act as a sponsor for one course or workshop in the areas
of Logic and Computation covered by the Computer Science Logic (CSL)
conferences. This course or workshop will be designated an EACSL
course/workshop. If you wish to be considered for this, please indicate so on
your proposal.

Programme:
