The central theme of this conference is migration and multilingualism. The
purpose of the conference is to bring together scholars working on these
areas from different perspectives and with different populations, to
exchange ideas and engage in a fruitful discussion.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning to have the conference take
place physically, however, we are prepared to switch to a virtual
conference if the situation in Cyprus does not allow travel from
international destinations. We will of course be open to other
presentations from speakers online, if need be, given the circumstances.
