Auditory Development Workshop 2025

Welcome!

** Please register before October 31st if you plan on coming to the workshop!**

The second edition of the Auditory Development Workshop will take place on the 13-14 of November 2025 in Bruxelles!

If you would like to register to the workshop mailing list, please use the registration link.

The main objective of this 2-day workshop is to bring together European researchers exploring human auditory development in order to exchange about our latest results on the development of: auditory scene analyses, spatial hearing, speech perception, auditory physiological responses, auditory functions, auditory cognition, and atypical auditory perception.

The program will comprise six sessions of talks and one poster session during two days.

This workshop will be entirely free of charge thanks to different sponsors (IniDEX Empiral Foundation of Linguistics, ANR, ERC, FNRS). However, we will ask all participants to register online.

Below are more details about the talks and invited speakers as well as the key dates.

The program of the previous 2023 workshop can be found on "Previous meeting" page.
