 UNITN Rovereto Workshop on bilingualism |
Representation and Control in L1 and L2: Functional and Neural Perspectives
The first annual "Rovereto Workshop on Bilingualism - Functional and Neural Perspectives" will be held October 13-16, 2005 at the Laboratorio di Scienze Cognitive at the University of Trento in Rovereto (Italy).
The goal for the annual Rovereto Workshop on Bilingualism is for it to develop
into the premier international
forum for researchers who are doing scientifically rigorous research in the area
of bilingual language processing. The purpose of the workshop is to bridge together
three important perspectives on bilingualism: the cognitive, neural and social
perspectives. The Rovereto Workshop will differ from larger conferences in at
least three important ways. First, unlike larger conferences, each annual meeting
will have a specific topic so that the discussions among participants can be
more focused and thus more productive. The topic for the inaugural meeting is "Representation and Control in L1 and L2: Functional and Neural Perpectives".
Second, the workshop will be relatively small with only 70 to 80 participants, including well-known senior researchers and promising young researchers. The reason for keeping the workshop relatively small is to facilitate discussions and foster productive collaborations between the senior and junior researchers. Third, the workshop will only broach those topics that can be addressed with scientific rigor, as determined by an internationally recognized organizing committee.
At the workshop there will be 10 invited speakers and there will be no concurrent talks.
In addition to the individual talks, there will be a roundtable discussion among several of the invited speakers and a poster session for students, post-docs and young researchers to present their work.
