The Autumn School, designed within the EUTOPIA Network, aims to equip students with intercultural and international skills. It is a Research Seminar focused on Multilingualism in Brussels, as well as other multilingual and multicultural contexts. Lectures will build on four key pillars: Multilingual Policy, Multilingual Practice, Multilingual Perspectives, and the interactive seminar Multilingual Dialogue. Through a combination of lectures, group discussions, and a group assignment, the Autumn School encourages students to explore research in the field of multilingualism and to collaborate with their peers from universities within the EUTOPIA Network, broadening their horizons while enhancing their ability to work and thrive in an international context.
This year, the Autumn School took place in person 12-15 November 2024 at VUB. MERLIT Researchers Maria Pace Aquilina and Ceyda Temurok made an intervention on 14 November on Aspects of Multilingualism in English-language literature: Past and Present.
