[Michele Gazzola via Lgpolicy]

Dear colleague,

The University of Potsdam, in cooperation with REAL (Research group 
“Economics, policy analysis, and language”) 
<https://www.ulster.ac.uk/research/topic/social-work-and-social-policy/research-themes/public-administration/research/real-group>, 
Ulster University, Andrássy-Universität Budapest, and IPSA RC50 - The 
politics of languages, organises the "/Sixth REAL Symposium on Language 
Economics and Policy/" on 4–5 June 2026.

The REAL symposia aim to discuss all aspects of language economics and 
language policy; and corresponding contributions are welcome. Especially 
welcome are papers that address the role of language skills within the 
context of increasing mobility, for instance in migration, in the labor 
market, and in education. Contributions to the symposium can cover 
theoretical and empirical research, or the practical implications in 
terms of language policy and impact. The symposium is interdisciplinary, 
and contributions are accepted from economics, political science, 
sociology, sociolinguistics, law, and related field

Those interested in presenting a paper should send an abstract of no 
more than 500 words to: "bengt-arne.wickstroem at aub.eu" *Deadline: 
February 1, 2026*

/Keynote speakers/

  * Mette Foged (University of Copenhagen): “Effects of language
    training and barriers to language learning in migration contexts”
  * Carsten Quell (Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat): ”Reconciling
    competing objectives in public policy: Language policy in a diverse
    Canada”

All the best,

Michele Gazzola
