Psycholinguistics in Flanders (PIF) has established itself as the yearly venue for young psycholinguists in Belgium and neighboring countries. The eighth edition of the PIF workshop will be held on May 18-19, 2009, in Antwerp, Belgium. It is jointly organized by the Center for Psycholinguistics and the Center for Dutch Language and Speech (CNTS) at the University of Antwerp, the Department of Experimental Psychology at Ghent University, and the ConCat research group at KU Leuven. The workshop is sponsored by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO).

The workshop organizers particularly invite pre-doctoral researchers to give a presentation.
