Meeting Description:

Bilingualism Matters Research Symposium 2020 (BMRS2020) is an annual
interdisciplinary research conference organised by the Bilingualism Matters
network and open to researchers at any stage of their career, irrespective of
their affiliation to Bilingualism Matters. BMRS2020 forms part of a larger
Bilingualism Matters Conference, featuring training events and general network
meeting, which are exclusive to BM network members and partners. The
conference be hosted by BM at Krakow branch and will take place on September 22,
2020. 

Bilingualism Matters Network is made of over 20 branches across Europe, North
America, and Asia. It stems from a research and information centre at the
University of Edinburgh, founded and directed by Professor Antonella Sorace.
Established in 2008, Bilingualism Matters aims to bridge the gap between
research and different sectors of society, enabling people to make informed
professional or personal decisions on bilingualism and language learning
across the lifespan that are based on facts, rather than prejudice or
misconception.

Our plenary speaker at the BMRS 2020 will be Prof. Judith Kroll, a
Distinguished Professor in the Department of Language Science at the
University of California, Irvine. She is a Fellow of the AAAS, the APA, the
APS, the Psychonomic Society, and the Society of Experimental Psychologists.
