The Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain (ILCB) brings
together experts in linguistics, psychology, neuroscience,
mathematics, and computer science to foster an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of language and communication. Each year, we
organize a Summer School that offers week-long, in-depth
multidisciplinary courses and single-session presentations, focusing
on cutting-edge research aligned with the Institute’s goals. The
courses and lectures are delivered by experts from the Institute and
renowned international speakers.
This year, the 9th ILCB Summer School will take place from Monday,
August 24th to Friday, August 28th, 2026, in Aix-en-Provence at Le
Cube, a modern venue on the Aix-Marseille University campus.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of
theoretical and methodological courses covering diverse topics such as
brain imaging techniques, neural networks and memory, auditory
cognition, language development, computational modeling, language
pathologies, the neural basis of language, and innovative approaches
in Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
The program also includes special events such as a keynote session by
an international speaker, Prof. Inbal Arnon, presentations in tribute
to Prof. Friedemann Pulvermüller, speed networking, and interactive
science activities.
We welcome participants from relevant academic backgrounds and at
