There’s a small change in the syntax program. George Walkden and I will teach the intro to syntax, and Roberta d’Alessandro will teach another medium/advance course, on microvariation.

We still have a few spots available, so registration will stay open till Saturday (17.6). Grap your chance and sign up here.

… are dropping in. Check the classes page.

A list of registered people so far can be found here:

Check the teacher & classes page. Abstracts follow soon.

Dear all, the registration site is now active: click here to register. After you register you’ll see a confirmation screen; you won’t get a confirmation email. We’ll try to upload a new file of all registered people every couple of days. Registration is open till June 10.

In case the link doesn’ work, here it is again: http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/egg-summer-school-2016-in-ladogekhi/540090.html

Tuition Explanation: A reduced fee of 120 EUR is available to selected applicants. The full fee is 160 EUR. If this reduced fee would still make it really impossible to come to the school, send us a short letter explaining your case to Hedde Zeijlstra at zeijlstra AT yahoo.com explaining your situation.

Registration will start this Tuesday till June 10. Basically, everything will be the same as last year: you register in the next fortnight and a bit later you will confirm your presence in the confirmation round. That confirmation is binding. Prices are a little different, as hosting the school this year in Georgia is more expensive. The reduced fee (for students from former communist countries) is 120 euros, which includes 13 nights in the hostel. The regular fee is 40 euros more (160 euros) and, of course, also incudes accomodation. There will be a possibilty to apply for grants on an individual basis (only for students from former communist countries).

Dear all,

As you can see, in week 2, the fifth slot in the schedule is open for the most part. This slot in week 2 can be used as some kind of an “open podium”. If you want to present some of your work, or share other stuff, you can make use of that. It will all be very informal and time permitting we’ll in principle include everybody (on a first-come-first-served basis). Just send an email to the organizers if you intend to do this.

Dear all,

This post contains important information about the confirmation procedure: what it is, how to do it, why we do it, etc. Please read this carefully and make sure you confirm your application between June 16 and June 26.

What is the “confirmation procedure”?

We need you to confirm your presence to the summerschool. Only after confirmation your registration is complete. If you don’t confirm, you will automatically be deregistered.

Why?

Experience shows that many people who register don’t show up at the school. But those who bother to confirm, do show up. This way, we can plan the practical details of the school much better. Also, the dorm people must know in advance who they will have to host.

How?

You will receive an email (not by me, but by Benjamin Burkhardt) in the next couple of days. This email contains the instructions for the confirmation. Please read it carefully, and everything will speak for itself.

What happens if I confirm and then I don’t come?

If you confirm and then don’t come to the school, apart from sill having to pay, you will have the privilege of being thrown into the basket of rotten eggs J. And, as Klaus Abels’ famous words are: rotten eggs stink! Seriously: rotten eggs cannot register for school in the next 3 years.

So make sure that you have access to email between July 16-26 and send your confirmation.

Best,

The EGG organizers

It looks like there has been a small bug in the registration website. We’re working on repairing it.
