Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research results on bilingualism/multilingualism are invited in three formats: colloquia, individual papers, and posters. Each paper presentation will be scheduled for 20 minutes.

Proposals for Colloquia:

Colloquia are collections of four paper presentations that relate to a narrowly defined topic of interest. They are submitted as a group, individually reviewed and offered in 120 minute time blocks. Colloquia will normally have a maximum duration of two hours (120 minutes) and we strongly urge convenors to keep to this limit. However, a duration of up to three hours (with six paper slots) can be granted upon request, if necessary.

Proposals for colloquia should include:

- A general abstract describing the colloquium as a whole (maximum of 400 words)
- An overall summary for inclusion in the conference programme (max 75 words)
- Abstracts (max 300 words each)
- Summaries (max 50 words) for each of the individual paper

The word limit includes examples and references. For each of the papers to be presented, the author's name, professional affiliation, and email address must be included. Sufficient details should be provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. A chair for the session must also be identified. Instead of a final speaker, time can be reserved for discussion led by a specified discussant. The person submitting a proposal for a colloquium is in charge of securing the permission and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is submitted.

Proposals for Individual Papers or Posters:

Proposals for individual papers or posters consist of:

- An abstract, including examples and references (max 300 words). The abstract should include enough details to allow reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal.
- An overall summary for inclusion in the conference programme (max 50 words) 

Abstracts for paper/poster presentations will be double-blind peer-reviewed. Authors will be asked to specify a format (paper presentation or poster session) at the time the work is submitted.

For all paper and poster submissions: Only one presentation as a first author. The first author will have to register for the conference in order to be assured a place on the programme.
