\nWhere:<\/span> <\/strong>Troms\u00f8, Norway<\/p>\n

Given the current situation with the corona pandemic, its unforeseeable circumstances and the likely issues for travel, we have decided to postpone the workshop to\u00a0June 1st<\/sup>– 2nd<\/sup>\u00a02021<\/b> when we hope (and have good reason to believe) we will be able to host everyone in Troms\u00f8.\u00a0We certainly hope to see you all in the Summer of 2021\u2014the snow will have melted by then and the temperature will be just about right to explore the beautiful landscapes of Troms\u00f8!

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers from around the world who work on bilingualism from a brain prospective. More specifically, the focus will be to what extent the amount of exposure, knowledge and the degree of active engagement with more than one language in a single mind affects brain structure, brain functions, and\/or how neurophysiological measures tap into the processing of multiple languages.<\/p>\n
