Titled “Plurilingual education in Europe: sharing research and practice”, the event involved researchers from various European institutions including: Lorna Carson (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland), Cecilia Andorno, Paolo Della Putta and Silvia Sordella (University of Turin, Italy), Josep M. Cots Caimons (Universitat de Lleida, Spain) and Melinda Dooly (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain).
