EPICUR’s ambition is to become the preferred supplier on Multilingualism in Europe. The alliance is working hard to safeguard and strengthen European linguistic diversity in European Higher Education. The Multilingualism event focuses on one of EPICUR’s core themes, multilingualism, and will touch upon topics such as linguistic diversity, good practices in developing institutional language policies and inclusive governance. During the event, the EPICUR Statement on Multilingualism will be officially presented and signed by all EPICUR rectors and presidents, underpinning EPICUR’s commitment to multilingualism and the importance of safeguarding European linguistic diversity.
An excellent opportunity to students, academic staff, teachers, and representatives of the 8 universities and of the European Commission to discuss issues related to linguistic diversity, the importance of multilingualism in careers and solutions to preserve and promote European languages in universities.
