As part of our continued commitment to the principle of multilingual education, we agreed in 2007 to set up a conference on this subject at Culham in May 2008. The conference received the support of various commercial and international organisations and was held again, in June 2009 and another one is planned for 2010 (see above link - Conference). We now aim to make it an annual event and are grateful to our sponsors and to the European Commission for their support and encouragement.
