For this classic EGG event, come up with a linguistic-related name for your cocktail (some inspiration “Strong Island Ice Tea”, “Syntax on the Beach”) and prepare it for others to taste it. We will then vote for the best cocktail in different categories (the traditional ones are: tastiest, best name, deadliest). Everyone can taste and vote!

UPDATE: We will have the tasting in the STUDY ROOM, 12th floor in the dorm. Starting time 9 pm.

UPDATE2: EGG Drag Contest conjoined with the cocktail party so if you’re into it, don’t you worry, it’s going to take place tonight shortly after the Cocktail Party i.e. around 10 P.M. (in the same room) so get ready to show us what you’ve got! 😉 This is how it was last year: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4836235291/permalink/10155824166650292/

We will have a first open podium session on Academic opportunities and how to survive in academia tomorrow in the syntax room (208). Come if you want to hear about how to make most of academic opportunities out there, apply for PhD/PostDoc programme (Europe/US perspective) and much more or you have any questions in this area!

Dear EGGers, as announced at the welcome meeting, we will have an Open podium where you can present some of your work (work in progress or a finished paper), discuss it with your peers and ask for suggestions in a 5-15 min slot, followed by questions and feedback. It will all be very informal and time permitting we’ll in principle include everybody (on a first-come-first-served basis).

Send a title with your name, affiliation, approximate length (and optionally a short abstract) to petracharvat@gmail.com if you intend to present. Deadline is Friday midnight, a schedule will be made and announced. Presentations to take place in week 2.

It will take place in the syntax room (208), 12:50 – 13:30. Please bring the exact amount with you, 150/100 euros in cash. (If that doesn’t work for you, we’ll also accept the equivalent amount in PLN, it’s 650/425.)

The welcome party is taking place tonight (Monday 29.7.) at 8:00 P.M. in Nietota pub (Kazimierza Wielkiego street 50, 4 mins from the main square Rynek).

Come on time and bring your name badge to get free beer, wine or/and soft drinks.
