Dear all,

The conference is in little more than two weeks, and we are happy to inform you that nearly everything is ready to welcome you in Fribourg.

In our latest newsletter [pdf], you will find important information on chairing sessions, posters, book exhibit, so please give it a read.

We are also announcing a last minute change in the line-up of keynote speakers: Dan Sperber will be giving the opening lecture, as Deirdre Wilson had to withdraw.

You will also find the final detailed programme here [pdf] and the book of abstracts here [pdf].

Looking forward to the event!

All the best,

Steve

Dear all,

The final call for papers [pdf] for ECA2017 is now available. The deadline for submission is now only 10 days away. Many thanks to those who have already submitted their abstracts, and to those who want to join us next year, don’t forget to submit in time!

The full programme (with course descriptions) of the ECA Summer School, to be held at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano from 16 to 19 June, prior to the ECA conference, is also available online here [pdf].

The ECA2017 Organising Committee would also like to let you know that everything is being done to make this an economically manageable conference for all participants. You will find information about what we are doing in this respect in the final CfP under the heading ‘Conference fees’. We have, among other measures, applied for special funds in the hope of being able to offer fee discounts to participating PhD students. More on this when we hear from our funding bodies!

Looking forward to seeing all of you in Fribourg next year,

The ECA2017 Organising Committee
