The European Summer School in LLI (ESSLLI) has become the main meeting place for young researchers and research students in this rapidly growing field. ESSLLI is a unique, interdisciplinary event, with no counterparts in Europe or elsewhere in the world. The main focus of the summer school is the interface between logic, linguistics and computation as far as it concerns the modelling of human language and cognitive abilities. The 1997 summer school programme includes courses, workshops and symposia covering a variety of topics within six areas of interest: Logic, Language, Computation, Logic and Computation, Computation and Language, Language and Logic. ESSLLI'97 will take place at the Aix-en-Provence Faculty of Arts(University of Aix-Marseille I). This Faculty is close to the old town centre. There are regular connections by bus (25 mns) from the international airport of Marseille and by train (30mns) from Marseille. The Faculty is at a 10 minute walking distance from the railway station.
