Workshops
One of the goals for organizing such workshops is for building research capacity, and the target participants are junior researchers in the fields of Engineering, Education, Human Performance, Linguistics, Medicine, Psychology and Speech and Hearing Science. Another goals will be the development of new methods of research to address novel, interdisciplinary problems and for these we will invite senior researchers, local and international.
