Bi- and Multilingual Universities

Following the previous conferences held in Freiburg (2003), Helsinki (2005) and Bolzano (2007), the community of multilingual universities will meet in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. The Luxemburg conference will address the issue of professionalising multilingualism in Higher Education, with a particular emphasis on the development of plurilingual individuals and multilingual institutions. More specifically, the practices of the actors (researchers, teachers, students...) in their daily environment and activities will be taken into account, raising the question of certification of competences and institutional regulations regarding multilingualism.
