Neurobiology of Language: Key Issues and Ways Forward II

Rather than looking back, we would like to see from the contributions of the speakers what the challenges and the promises are for the neurobiology of language. The research of the invited speakers has opened promising avenues, which we would like to hear more about from a forward-looking perspective.

In addition to a line-up of excellent speakers, this time we will also have three virtual poster sessions. Posters presenting cutting edge research on the neurobiology of language with exciting new methods, approaches and results are most welcome. Posters can be submitted via this link.

The deadline for poster submissions is Sunday March 13, 23.00 CET.

Organization: Ina Grevel, Jeroen Geerts, Fourwaves

Chair: Peter Hagoort

Hosts: Caroline Rowland, Jeroen Geerts

Moderators: Laura Giglio, Ellie Huizeling, Ashley Lewis, Daniel Sharoh

Live international sign language: Live International Sign interpretation will be provided by Overseas Interpreting.

Registration for this meeting is required. Registration can be done via this link.
