Meeting Description: 

Following the success of LINEE Training Institutes in Brussels (2007), 
Bolzano (2008) and Prague (2009 and 2010), doctoral students 
researching various aspects of multilingualism in Europe will once again 
meet for the exchange of ideas and training. They will be provided with the 
opportunity for interaction with renowned resource persons, both local and 
from abroad, in a number of different settings (lecture and seminar settings, 
poster sessions, informal encounters, meals). Prague, a city known for its 
aesthetic value in particular, has for years been a symbol of intellectual and 
cultural engagement and language studies. Since 1989, it has been 
gradually developing into a site of emerging multilingualism, the experience 
of which participants in the Training Institute are invited to share.

Thematic Areas
- Language, Culture and Identity
- Language Policy and Planning
- Multilingualism and Education
- Language and Economy

Resource persons
- Erzsébet Barát, Szegedi Tudományegyetem, Hungary
- Rita Franceschini, Freie Universitaet Bozen / Libera Università di Bolzano, 
Italy
- Peter Weber, Hochschule fuer Angewandte Sprachen, Muenchen, 
Germany
- Iwar Werlen, Universitaet Bern, Switzerland

Students will also have the opportunity to interact with local experts in the 
areas of nationalism studies and the Vietnamese community in the Czech 
Republic. 

Applying
Qualified applicants will be students working on a Ph.D. degree. All 
participants are expected to present a poster. The subject of the posters 
may be the participant's doctoral research or other projects in which the 
participant is involved. Acceptable topics are those which relate to the four 
thematic areas. To apply, please send abstracts of approximately 250 
words to Oliver Engelhardt at training at linee.info by May 8, 2011.

Costs
There is no fee for participation. Participants cover their own travel, 
accommodation and meal costs.

Venue
The Training Institute will take place at the Faculty of Arts, Charles 
University, located in the historical heart of Prague. From the faculty, there 
are exquisite views of the Prague Castle and Vltava River. Participants will 
have access to the internet and the faculty library. In the vicinity of the 
faculty, there are a number of restaurants where the participants can have 
lunches and dinners.

Accommodation
Participants are free to arrange their accommodation, choosing from a 
broad range of options, either in the historical center of Prague, or in its 
surroundings. There will also be the option of ordering university-affiliated 
accommodation.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-
6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and 
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information 
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.
