Meeting Description:

3rd European Conference on Plurilingualism
'Languages without Borders: Plurilingualism'

Plurilingualism does not mean the disappearance of borders, whether they are physical, political, religious, intellectual, artistic or any others. Such as a door, the border can be opened or closed; it is a marker of identity and of differentiation, but at the same time, it is a condition for a real and authentic exchange. Whatever the border, plurilingualism transforms them as areas of exchanges, enrichment and creativity, a creativity nurtured by an assumed and recognized otherness.

Such is the main set of themes for the 3rd European Conference on plurilingualism which will decline themselves into four henceforth standard registers: education, economy, politics and culture.

The Conference will be held at the Representation of the European Commission in Rome, Via quattro Novembre, 149-00187 Roma, on the 10th, 11th and 12th of October 2012. 

Call for Papers:

The aim of the Conference is the apprehension of concrete problems and the search for feasible solutions to answer them. The presentation will be presented in an argumentative manner and will include an analysis of the situation, a presentation of the problematic, if possible supported by experiences and precise cases, and concrete proposals to help nurture a platform on plurilingualism.

The accepted presentations will have to give a complete text of 6 pages long, around 18,000 characters maximum, spaces included, summaries and bibliographies included, according the following format aimed at the paper or electronic publication:

Text format: A4 paper, Times New Roman 10, lateral margins: 4.25; top margin: 5; bottom margin: 4.7
File format: .doc or .odt AND .pdf (there is a necessity to get the original non-modifiable text)

The text will be accompanied by a 15 lines summary in three languages.

It is also downloadable with an example on the website of the EOP in the menu Conference, in file format .dot and/or .doc. It is the framework under which the whole text will have to be presented. All word processing compatible with Word is also usable.

Notes at the end of the article:
