LLC - Lectures

The LLC Lecture series is an annual series of lectures which we established to promote and disseminate key results and approaches in research about logic, language, and cognition. Each year the Center invites an emerging or established researcher (not necessarily famous) for a public presentation in Turin. The lectures are preferably based on materials that the invitee is about to publish or has just published, so they are intended as an opportunity to present and discuss new research work. Here is a list of our past lecturers:
