The conference will take place in the newly refurbished Department of Linguistic and Literary Studies. 
 
The Department carries out research on the linguistic, philological and literary aspects of communication based on consolidated research in national and international linguistic and literary traditions, both diachronically and synchronically, but is also open to innovative and interdisciplinary methods to explore new fields, such as interculturality, gender studies, post-colonial studies, translation, media studies and corpus-based studies and online teaching.
 
The Department combines research and teaching to deliver courses in 15 foreign languages (including 13 languages of the European Union) and their respective literatures and cultures.
