Exciting news! Here is our first round of teachers for EGG 2020 in Novi Sad. This is the syntax team, which will consist of: András Bárány, Theresa Biberauer, Zorica Puškar-Gallien and Adrian Stegovec. Welcome on board, guys! Stay tuned for information about our other teachers in the coming days and weeks.

1. We’ll have a very short EGG closing ceremony right after classes tomorrow at 5.15pm in the Syntax Room!

2. There will be a final closing party right outside the dorm, starting at 8pm tomorrow evening with beer and pizza!!

Dear EGGers, the karaoke night starts at 8 pm on Wednesday in Fuga Mundi pub (Pl. Grunwaldzki 12-14), which is a 10 min walk from the dorm. To have the whole place for us, we had to pay the club, so when you arrive, find me, Sandhya or Tom to chip in 20 zloty. See ya all there!

From tomorrow onwards (Tuesday, 6th August), the Phonology classes and Emily Hanink’s Internally headed relatives and clausal nominalization will take place in room 307 instead of 215.

If you need a certificate showing that you’ve attended a course, please: 
1. print ONE copy of the certificate (this is sufficient for ALL courses) and fill out your full name and courses attended
2. bring it to Room 208 at 5.15pm on Thursday (August 8) for signatures. 
2′. If you are leaving earlier than Thursday, come talk to Sandhya or Petra

The good news is, a LOT of you are interested in presenting at the Open Podium! But this also means we have to reduce the time for individual presentations to fit all of them.
Solution: Lightning talks! 5 min talk + 5 min questions. This is similar to what many conferences (e.g. GLOW, SALT) do nowadays.

Prepare max. 1-2 slides of the core proposal of your talk and email them as a PDF to Petra (petracharvat AT gmail DOT com) *by 10.00am on Tuesday*. Presentations will be on Tue and Wed.
