The first edition of the Auditory Development Workshop took place on the 20-21 of November 2023 in Paris. 

If you would like to register to the workshop mailing list, please use the registration link. We will have a second edition of this workshop probably in 2025 and will keep you posted!

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 compised six sessions of talks and one poster session during two days.

This workshop was entirely free of charge thanks to different sponsors (Faculty of Sciences Univ Paris Cité, LABEX Empiral Foundation of Linguistics, ANR, ERC). 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 two days of 2023 can be found on "Program" page.
