We invite everyone interested in Machine Learning and Natural Language 
Processing to attend the 3rd Summer School on Deep Learning and Large Language 
Models (LLMs) for Natural Language Processing (NLP), which will be held from 
September 3–5, 2025, in Varna, Bulgaria, as part of RANLP 2025.
Building on the success of the 1st and 2nd RANLP summer schools in 2019 and 
2023 respectively, RANLP 2025 summer school will explore a broad spectrum of 
NLP topics with a special emphasis on LLMs.
Each day will feature morning lectures that focus on theoretical foundations, 
followed by afternoon lab sessions dedicated to hands-on implementation and 
experimentation. Participants will also have the opportunity to compete in a 
competition, with awards presented to the top performers.
The summer school will feature talks by leading researchers in NLP and deep 
learning from both academia and industry.
