REAL (Research group “Economics, policy analysis, and language”), in cooperation with the University of Potsdam and Ulster University, organises an interdisciplinary symposium on language economics and policy on 4–5 June 2026 at the University of Potsdam, Germany.
The REAL symposia aim to discuss all aspects of language economics and language policy, and corresponding contributions are welcome. Especially welcome are papers that address the role of language skills within the context of increasing mobility, for instance, in migration, in the labour market, and in education. Contributions to the symposium can cover theoretical and empirical research, or the practical implications in terms of language policy and impact. The symposium is interdisciplinary, and contributions are accepted from economics, political science, sociology, law, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.
