Welcome!

The Student Session of the 20th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information was held in Hamburg, Germany on August 4-15, 2008.

The aim of the Student Session is to give an opportunity to students at all levels (Bachelor-, Master-, and PhD-students) to present and discuss their work in progress with a possibility to get feedback from senior researchers.
