Symposia dealing with research from a specifically European Context

In the course of the AILA 2008 congress about 100 three-hour symposia, 800 individual papers and 80 poster presentations will be held—covering a wide range of themes. About one fifth of the symposia, or else 21, will be providing a platform for discussions around specifically European subjects.

At present we plan to offer the following “European” Symposia:
