Climate policy

We accept the main findings of current climate science and their urgent implications for academic conference culture. Thus, we host the Joint Conference on Language Evolution as a hybrid event and offer online participation possibility to reduce carbon-footprint. To achieve an equally good conference eyperience for online participants, we host a number of online only events. Our hybrid setting also promotes the accessibility and cultural diversity of our events.
