The Balkans in an European Context: New Challenges for Multilingualism in Europe

Conference date: 11-Apr-2010 - 15-Apr-2010
Conference venue: Dubrovnik, Croatia
Call Deadline: 31-Oct-2009
Organizing Institution: Institute for Anthropological Research, Zagreb, Croatia

Organized jointly by Languages in a Network of European Excellence (LINEE) and the integrated project DYLAN of the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme for Research and Development.
