**Meeting Description**

For the past 24 years, the European Summer School in Logic, Language
and Information (ESSLLI) has been organized every year by the
Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) in different
sites around Europe. The main focus of ESSLLI is on the interface
between linguistics, logic and computation.

ESSLLI offers foundational, introductory and advanced courses, as well
as workshops, covering a wide variety of topics within the three areas
of interest: Language and Computation, Language and Logic, and Logic
and Computation. Previous summer schools have been highly successful,
attracting up to 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. During two weeks, 49 courses and 6
workshops are offered to the attendants, each of 1.5 hours per day
during a five days week, with up to seven parallel sessions. ESSLLI
also includes a student session (papers and posters by students only,
1.5 hour per day during the two weeks). There will be three evening
lectures by Mel Fitting, Jonathan Ginzburg and Adam Przepiorkowski.

In 2012, ESSLLI will held in Opole, Poland and will be organized by
the University of Opole, Poland. Chair of the program committee is
Andreas Herzig, and chairs of the organizing committee are Urszula
Wybraniec-Skardowska and Janusz Czelakowski.
