Multilingual higher education has many challenges but also many prospects ahead. Understanding its challenges and its threats requires knowledge about the larger, cultural and political context it exists. The main goals of the conference is to examine the way Language centers, new technologies and language learning methods function in supporting multiligual instruction, to determine how the broader trends may affect multilingualism at the university level,  to highlight research and to exchange experiences on bi- and multilingual higher education, in particular on factors that promote and inhibit it.
