At its 23rd meeting held in Brussels in December 2008, the Board decided to create a number of special interest groups designed to address new issues and challenges arising from changes in higher education and non-academic environments. A preparatory meeting for a SIG on the Multilingual and Multicultural classroom will be held at the Aarhus School of Business on 23 October 2009.
The SIG on the Multilingual and Multilingual Classroom, which is to address issues arising from the internationalisation of higher education institutions across Europe, will be led by Karen M. Lauridsen of the Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus University (DK). The preparatory meeting will be preceded by an international workshop conducted on 22 October. |

Other special interest groups currently being prepared will be devoted to the following themes:
The relationship between language learning and the brain
SIG leader: Piet van de Craen (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, BE) |

Two other SIGs currently being considered will be devoted to the future of modern languages degree programmes and to multilingualism and the sciences respectively. Moreover, a special section on the SIGs is soon going to be created on this website. |
