About: The Student Session of the 26th European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) will take place in Tübingen, Germany on August 11-22, 2014. We invite submissions of original, unpublished work from students in any area at the intersection of Logic & Language, Language & Computation, or Logic & Computation. Submissions will be reviewed by several experts in the field, and accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters and will appear in the student session proceedings by Springer. This is an excellent opportunity to receive valuable feedback from expert readers and to present your work to a diverse audience.
Separate poster sessions: Note that there are two separate kinds of submissions, one for the oral presentations and one for the posters. This means that papers can be directly submitted as posters. Reviewing and ranking will be done separately. We particularly encourage submissions for posters, as they offer an excellent opportunity to present research in progress.
Springer prizes for best paper and best poster: Springer generously supports the Student Session by offering prizes for a total of ?1000 in Springer books. These include ?500 for the best orally presented paper and ?500 for the best poster. The prizes are awarded based on the reviews of the submission as well as the oral/poster presentation.
Further information: Please direct inquiries about submission procedures or other matters relating to the Student Session to dehaan-AT-kr.tuwien.ac.at.
ESSLLI 2014 will feature a wide range of foundational and advanced courses and workshops in all areas of Logic, Language, and Computation.

Policies
Below you can find the abstract submission policies and publication policies for the Student Session.
Submission policies:
Authors must be students, i.e., authors may not have received their PhD degree before August 2014.
Submissions may be singly or jointly authored. No one may submit more than one singly and one jointly authored paper.
If a student wants to submit both to the Student Session and to another workshop hosted by ESSLLI 2014, the presentations should be different from each other.
Submissions should not be longer than 8 pages for an oral presentation and 4 pages for a poster presentation (including examples and references).
Submissions must be anonymous, without any identifying information.
Submissions must be must be received by April 1, 2014, and must be submitted through Easychair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli...).
Publication policies:
If a paper has been accepted for the program of the Student Session but the author(s) cannot attend the Student Session and present their work, the paper might not be accepted for publication.
Accepted papers will eventually have to be written in LaTeX in standard LNCS format (10 pts). The easiest thing is to do this in advance by using the Springer class files for LaTeX2e.
Proceedings
Extended versions (12 pages) of all accepted papers will be available in online proceedings.
Springer volumes in the LNCS series with the best papers of 2008-2009 and the best papers of 2010-2011 have been published, and a similar volume for 2012-2013 is in preparation. We aspire to publish a forthcoming volume for 2014-2015.
