A week in Champéry with the members of the NCCR

The members of the NCCR Evolving Language gathered last week for the Winter School and Annual Retreat of the consortium in sunny Champéry. Over a few days, around 110 of our researchers presented their work, and connected with colleagues, from PhD students to senior professors. Between introductions to the core disciplines of evolutionary language science and workshops on statistics and ethics, members were encouraged to interact and get to know each other!

This event is crucial to us as it fosters innovative transdisciplinary collaboration between research groups. As our researchers work from all over Switzerland, it provides a rare and valuable opportunity for them to interact in person, bridging the distance that usually separates them.
