<p class=MsoNormal>The World Language Documentation Centre, together with
Bangor University and Language Standards for Global Business, wishes to
announce a major multidisciplinary conference to celebrate 2008 as the
International Year of Languages<br>
<br>
August 22-23, 2008<br>
<br>
To be held at the Bangor University Business Management Conference Centre<br>
<br>
This event is supported by the Welsh Assembly Government and the UK National
Committee to UNESCO<br>
<br>
The United Nations announced that 2008 would be the International Year of
Languages, recognizing the importance of multilingualism in supporting
international understanding. The GUM3C conference will attempt to bridge the
communications gap between academia and industry, asking (and attempting to
answer) such questions as: <br>
<br>
<br>
How can industry help academia prioritize its research in the 3 Ms? <br>
<br>
What are the developing standards, who are developing them and will they be
used? <br>
<br>
How will this generate peace, prosperity and global understanding? <br>
<br>
Mor info, details on submission of papers or workshops as well as conference
registration can be obtained from http://www.gum3c.org <br>
