What does ÖSKL mean and what is it about?

ÖSKL means Österreichische Studierenden-Konferenz der Linguistik (Austrian Students’ Conference of Linguistics) and is a platform for prospective linguists and students of other disciplines related to language who want to experience their first scientific presentations in a relaxed and kind atmosphere without grading pressure. Furthermore, this kind of conference gives the possibility of getting to know other students and institutes and due to that other topics of research.

Every topic related to any linguistic area is appreciated. The presentation of Bachelor’s and Master’s theses, dissertations, term papers or projects is possible. One of the main concerns of the ÖSKL is the aspect of socializing. The conference is a perfect occasion to get most useful contacts to other linguists in a relaxed atmosphere. Maybe you will find new friends or plan future research projects with people from abroad!

This year is the fourth time the ÖSKL takes place. After Salzburg, Vienna and Graz we, the organisation team in Innsbruck, are proud to host this year’s conference and are looking forward to receive your applications and to seeing you in the beautiful city of Innsbruck.
