Aims

The aims of UKLO are:

  • To organise a Linguistics Olympiad in the UK every year.
  • To select one or more teams to represent the UK in the annual International Linguistics Olympiad.
  • To provide support for schools that participate in the UK events.
  • To raise funds to cover these activities.

The Committee

The committee members are almost all unpaid volunteers, and include not only academics from university linguistics departments but also some school teachers.
