ILCB Summer School 2026-Explore Language and the Brain

About

The Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain (ILCB) brings together experts in linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, mathematics, and computer science to foster an interdisciplinary approach to the study of language and communication. Each year, we organize a Summer School that offers week-long, in-depth multidisciplinary courses and single-session presentations, focusing on cutting-edge research aligned with the Institute’s goals. The courses and lectures are delivered by experts from the Institute and renowned international speakers.

This year, the 9th ILCB Summer School will take place from Monday, August 24th to Friday, August 28th, 2026, in Aix-en-Provence at Le Cube, a modern venue on the Aix-Marseille University campus. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of theoretical and methodological courses covering diverse topics such as brain imaging techniques, neural networks and memory, auditory cognition, language development, computational modeling, language pathologies, the neural basis of language, and innovative approaches in Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

The program also includes special events such as a keynote session by an international speaker, Prof. Inbal Arnon, presentations in tribute to Prof. Friedemann Pulvermüller, speed networking, and interactive science activities.
