It will be held on Mon 25–Fri 29 June, 2018 at UCL.

There are more lecturers than usual, and we will have two parallel sessions. In addition, there will be a workshop with poster presentations by students. You can find more information about the workshop below.

The psycholinguistic courses will take place at 9:30-11:00 on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. We will skip the morning slot on Monday and start at 11:30, so that those who come from outside London will be able to travel that day.
