CercleS has been promoting interaction and cooperation between institutions involved in language teaching in Europe since 1991, with the aim of bringing together higher education language centres, departments, institutes, faculties and schools whose main responsibility is the teaching of languages.

The conference theme „Language Centres in Higher Education: Exploring and Shaping Plurilingual Profiles and Practices“ reflects the important role of language centres in higher education through six sections:

Teaching methodologies, learning and media
Plurilingualism for academic and professional purposes
Assessment and alternative forms of assessment
Staff and quality development
Policy and policy implementation
MAGICC: Modularising Multilingual and Multicultural Academic Communication Competence
