Pint of Science 2024 will take place from May 13 to May 15! Researchers from the NCCR Evolving Language from all scientific disciplines are participating. Join them in bars all over Switzerland!
What was motherhood like in prehistoric times? A documentary from ARTE, published on the 13th of April and with NCCR anthropologist Judith Burkart, dives into this fascinating subject.
The NCCR Evolving Language TTF Concepts organized a workshop on the 27th of March a workshop on “Finding Interdisciplinary Ground for Empirical Work on Meaning”. Around 50 NCCR researchers, from all fields of research and career levels participated in the event, in Neuchâtel.
Exploring the past, present and future of language
The Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Evolving Language is a nationwide interdisciplinary research consortium bringing together research groups from the humanities, from language and computer science, the social sciences, and the natural sciences at an unprecedented level. Together, we aim at solving one of humanity’s great mysteries: What is language? How did our species develop the capacity for linguistic expression, for processing language in the brain, and for consistently passing down new variations to the next generation? How will our capacity for language change in the face of digital communication and neuroengineering?

Our Network
Evolving Language is led by Balthasar Bickel (Department of Comparative Language Science, UZH), Daphné Bavelier (Cognitive Neuroscience group, UNIGE) and Klaus Zuberbühler (Institute of Biology, University of Neuchâtel). Over 30 research groups across Switzerland are taking part in this NCCR, from 9 different institutions as well as partners in industry (Google AI, Sonova) and public organizations.
