Call for hosts

The Language Policy Special Interest Group of the British Association of Applied Linguistics holds an annual two-day event called the ‘Language Policy Forum’ (LPF). This is a premier international meeting of language policy scholars, which has been running since 2018. Our defining principles are to be international, affordable, and accessible. We typically attract delegates from across the world, and at all career stages, working in various areas of language policy. Details of past conferences can be found on this website.

The 2026 event will take in late April or May. We invite submissions from potential hosts, anywhere in Europe. All applicants must be members of the BAAL Language Policy SIG. This is free for anyone, you do not need to be a BAAL member. Follow the link at the top of this page.

Please complete the form below by Friday 6 June.

Please carefully note that some details will require discussion and agreement with colleagues and management, so plan for that as you prepare.
