Registration is taking place from May 3rd until May 16th at:

where more detailed information is available.
The egg focuses on generative grammar. Teachers are both senior established figures in the field and young promising researchers at the forefront of today's research (they are all coming to teach for free (and for fun)).
The school is free (there is no tuition fee), and dorm beds will be less than 5 Euros per night. Students from former communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe can apply for financial support (covering travel, visa and/or accommodation expenses).
