Check out the Teachers & classes page: the four course descriptions of A. Wellwood and M. Cotfas are in.

And we have a new phonologist: Marjorie Leduc from Rutgers. Her course titles are in.

This year the EGG has received financial support from

• GLOW
• Department of Czech Language, Masaryk University Brno
• our fund drive on GoFundMe (still ongoing)

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):

1. semantics: Alexis Wellwood (University of Southern California)
2. morpho-phonology: Armel Jolin (University of Leipzig)
3. phonology: Björn Köhnlein (Ohio State University)

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.
