This year the EGG has received financial support from
We thank GLOW and all generous donors for their support. The money helps us to pay for teacher travel and accommodation, and to keep student fees as low as possible (ideally just the price charged by the dorm for accommodation).
Students: consider GLOW membership, that’s only 5 Euros a year for students.
Check out the new Teachers & Classes page (on the top menue), summarizing the current state.
Class titles are in for R. Mantini, M. Cotfas and A. Wellwood.
More teachers and classes to come, stay tuned.
Abstracts will also drop in.
We are sorry that Armel Jolin won’t be able to make it to Brno for personal reasons.
But we are happy to welcome Rita Manzini (University of Florence), who will close the gap in the syntax lineup.
More teachers to come, stay tuned…
the second triplet is (more to come, stay tuned):
All announced teachers have confirmed their commitment to teaching at the summer school. Funding discussions are currently ongoing, and we expect to have greater clarity in due time. We are actively working to secure the resources needed to support travel and accommodation for the teaching team; final participation will depend on the outcome of these efforts. Where possible, teachers are seeking complementary support through their home institutions.
A brick of the Brno EGG funding is the appeal to the broader community for support through crowdfunding on this GoFundMe page. This is to help ensure that our teachers (who teach for free) are able to attend (the school covers their travel and accommodation in dorms) and that the summer school can take place as planned with modest student fees. The longer text on the GoFundMe page provides more detail, also explaining why the EGG is short on money this year. We need your support in order to ensure that the EGG can continue its mission of low cost, grassroots education and intellectual exchange.

GLEE, the roof organization of the EGG, has set legal action against OVA in motion, for Identity Theft. Read more on the GLEE website.
In 2026, the EGG will be held in the wonderful city of Brno (Czech Republic).
The school will take place from July 27th to August 7th.
Stay tuned: Teachers and classes will come in progressively here.
On Friday from 18:00 (but feel free to come earlier), we will be meeting up for a farewell party at Jarunsko jezero, the lake near the dorms.
There are plenty of bars that allow you to take drinks to the beach (which is rocky, so it is advised to bring good footwear for water if you want to swim!), as well as a pizza place nearby.

To check-out, please bring your keys to the tourist office in pavilion 12 or, if unattended, to the reception in building 10.
If you leave on Friday evening, please make sure to check-out on Friday morning or latest by lunch. You can leave your luggage in room A105 or A107 upstairs (they won’t be locked, though, so make sure to carry your valuables on you).
If you leave on Saturday very early in the morning: We were told that there should be someone at one of those desks.
How to leave the room: Please take off the bedsheets and put them and the towels together on a pile. Make sure that the fridge is empty and don’t leave a huge mess 🙂
If you plan to leave after Saturday, please contact us directly (on whatsapp of via email), because we have to provide a list of names and departure dates to the dorm people.
