We are happy to announce the 4th installment of Sound of Indo-European (SoIE). After a five-year hiatus and three successful conferences (Copenhagen 2009, Opava 2010 & 2014) SoIE will be hosted for the first time at the University of Cologne, 1-3 April 2020.

The CfP process is now complete (see the original Call for papers here). However, registration for the conference is still open for attendance without a paper. Participation at SoIE 4 is entirely free of charge. Please note, however, that the conference dinner must be paid by the participants themselves.

The conference will take place immediately following the Indogermanisches Forschungskolloquium (FoKo) / Indo-European Research Colloquium (IERC), 30-31 March 2020 in Cologne.
