News: parallel session on mobility and inclusion of contested languages in Europe

We are proud to announce that the 7FP-EU funded project Mobility and Inclusion in Multilingual Europe (MIME) is now an official sponsor of the CLOW3.

We have added a MIME parallel session on the impact of mobility and inclusion to contested languages. As this parallel session was announced later, there is an extra month for the submission of abstracts. Please check the Important dates page.

The whole web site was reshuffled for the entering of the new sponsor. Please note that all previous information remains valid: what we did is to put more data in few web pages, in order to avoid dispersion.

In particular, information on submission of abstracts is now under the Call for papers page, while information on conference fees are now under the Registration page.
