Meeting Description:

The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism
- The Different Faces of Bilingualism –

The International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB) is a biennial
conference on a wide range of issues concerning bi/multilingualism.
Since its inaugural conference in 1997 at Newcastle University, ISB
has become the most significant conference in the field of
bi/multilingualism. ISB has a strong focus on showcasing
multidisciplinary research with a representation from a range of
disciplines at every conference, including education, linguistics,
neuroscience, psychology and sociology. The aim of ISB is to bring
together bi/multilingualism researchers from all around the globe to
advance the theoretical and applied research in bi/multilingualism,
and to support bi/multilingualism practices in the community.


The conference theme of ISB15 is The Different Faces of Bilingualism

“The Different Faces of Bilingualism” is a deliberately broad theme
for ISB15, aimed at meeting ISB’s mission to create a space for
researchers with a diverse range of interests to share their knowledge
and gain new perspectives, and to foster meaningful cross-disciplinary
collaborations. We hope to bring together researchers working on
different faces of bilingualism, including different research areas,
methodological approaches, and populations. In line with this aim, we
have invited plenary speakers who represent different faces of
bilingualism, from sociolinguistics to education, psycholinguistics to
translation. This broad theme reflects the multidisciplinary nature of
the organizing committee, based in a center of excellence for
neuroscientific research into language and bilingualism. To capitalize
on this expertise, ISB15 will feature The Bilingual Brain Day, which
is intended to share the core insights of the field with researchers
of other areas and to discuss the state-of-the-art with researchers in
the field. The conference theme also aims to promote inclusivity,
inspired by its location in the Spanish Basque Country, one of the few
regions in the world that has successfully revived its bilingual
heritage across all aspects of society.

Final call for symposia:

Deadline September 16 / Call for individual papers and posters will
open September 18.

The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB15) will take
place on 9-13 June 2025 in Donostia-San Sebastián (Spain), hosted by

consist either of four presentations, or of three presentations and a
discussion. Proposals cannot exceed 2400 words (including any
references) and must include a general abstract describing the
symposium as a whole (400 words) and abstracts for all individual

Individual papers are formal presentations on original research or
pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a maximum of
20 minutes with 5 additional minutes for discussion.

Posters on original research or pedagogy will be displayed in sessions
that offer the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion
with others in the field. On each day of the conference, there will be
a 90-minute poster session with presenters in attendance.

Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length (including any
