OVA is an association (Verein) registered in Austria under the full name Omnes Voces Acceptamus Sommerschule für Linguistik.

Board

The OVA board consists of:

  • 2 general members
  • 1 phonology member
  • 1 semantics member
  • 1 syntax member

Every board member has an equal voice in each decision made. The board members are (re-)voted every five years by OVA membership. You can find the current board setup here.

Membership

Everyone who attended or taught at an OVA summer school is eligible to become an OVA member for the subsequent year (your registration fee is automatically your membership fee; teachers become honorary members). More information is sent via email to the participants of each annual school.

Every member is allowed to participate in the general assembly (held yearly during the school) and vote on decisions like new board members or the next location of OVA.

If you have questions about the OVA association or if you wish to become an OVA member without having participated at an OVA summer school, please reach out to us at ovasummerschool@gmail.com.
