| Trondheim Young Researchers Symposium on Multilingualism (TYRSM) 26-27 May 2025 Trondheim (Norway) |
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
Nine years after the very successful Young Researchers Symposium on Multilingualism (DISM) in Donostia in 2016, and its equally successful follow-ups in Szczyrk (2017) and Morella (2023), the next edition will take place in Trondheim, Norway’s first capital (from the Viking Age until 1217). Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway and home to the country’s largest university: The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
The Trondheim Young Researchers Symposium on Multilingualism (TYRSM) will bring together early career researchers (i.e., MA, PhD, and Postdoc students) who work on multilingualism from different perspectives, be it cognitive, linguistic, sociolinguistic, or educational. Senior scholars can also attend the symposium as co-authors of the work presented by young researchers.
We are inviting submissions for posters with short oral presentations. Abstracts of no more than 300 words (excluding the references) should be submitted to iamsymposium2025@gmail.com by January 31, 2025.
TYRSM will also include two sessions in which experienced researchers will give advice on academic career trajectories, work-life balance, research methodology, mentoring, paper reviewing processes, among other issues that may be of interest to early career researchers.
