PhD students’ social event

Continuing the tradition of linguistic ‘speed-dating’ started at ICLC-13^th we have a similar student networking-socializing event at the ICLC-14^th. The event is sponsored by Mouton de Gruyter. The event has a ‘speed dating’ format, in which participants have a few minutes to talk to another attendee about one’s research and hear about theirs, before meeting another attendee. The purpose of the event is to allow to develop a network of contacts, and perhaps stimulate future collaboration, and to give the opportunity to practice talking about your research. For a warm-up, the participants with similar research interests have the opportunity to chat at the same table over snacks, wine/beer and soft drinks, after which the ‘speed dating’ begins.

The event takes place on July 11^th (Tuesday) in a lovely river café Sisevete Saatkond (http://www.lodi.ee/joekohvik) starting at 8 p.m. As the places are limited, pre-registration is necessary. Please register for this event through the conference registration page.
