The conference is open to anybody involved in 'language and business' issues, including both young and experienced researchers, PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals from business, government and non-governmental institutions. The conference will be in English, but research may be related to any language.

- The interface of languages in business education and intercultural studies
- Acquisition of intercultural competence in business language training
- The place of languages in the curricula of business programmes
- Levels of language proficiency in business education
- CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in business and intercultural studies (e.g. implementation issues in tertiary education, teacher training and syllabus/curriculum design at university level, study progress measurement techniques)
