Where voice meets health

The VoCS Autumn School explores the role of voice in health

From Sunday 30 August to Thursday 3 September 2026, the VoCS family is meeting again in Jena for its second workshop week. Through interactive workshops, presentations and team-building activities, doctoral candidates not only learn about different voice pathologies and their impact on quality of life, but also discuss aspects of neurodiversity and mental health in research. In the second half of the Autumn School, they take part in the 3rd Interdisciplinary Conference on Voice Communication, where they all present their current projects.
