The 14th Meeting of the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association will be at University College Cork, Ireland, on June 27–30 2012. The conference will run in our vibrant Western Gateway Complex, which overlooks the River Lee. You will find that Cork city has good transport links, with direct flights from numerous locations in Europe and further afield. There is also a good road and train network. The University itself is close to the city centre and just a 15-minute drive from Cork airport. The organising committee are working on the scientific programme, which will consist of a combination of plenary talks, thematic panels, and general oral and poster sessions. As in previous years, a wide range of topics will be covered, including:
- Clinical phonetics
- Clinical linguistics
- Assessment, treatment and methodology in speech and language pathology
- Acquired and developmental language disorders
- Audiology, hearing impairment
- Communication disorders across languages
As a country renowned for its céad míle fáilte – which translated from the Irish language means a hundred thousand welcomes – we extend a warm welcome to you and invite you to join us at the next ICPLA conference in Cork. We hope that you will extend your stay in Ireland by visiting some of the beautiful countryside of the west coast of Ireland as well as historic sites such as Blarney castle in the local area.
