History

Psycholinguistics in Flanders (PiF) is a long-standing tradition in Flanders and it involves psycholinguists working in Europe and around the world. It started in 2002 when a group of psycholinguists decided to organize an annual workshop for postgraduates and young postdoctoral researchers in psychology of language. Since then, the conference has been organized yearly, involving major universities in Belgium and the Netherlands. This makes the current conference the seventeenth edition of the gathering.

Traditionally, PiF is jointly organized by the Department of Experimental Psychology at Ghent University, the Computational Linguistics and Psycholinguistics Research Center (CLiPS) at the University of Antwerp, and the ConCat research group at KU Leuven.
