 This broad theme for is aimed at meeting ISB’s mission to create a 

space for researchers with a diverse range of interests to share their 

knowledge and gain new perspectives, and to foster meaningful 

cross-disciplinary collaborations. In line with this aim, we have 

invited plenary speakers who represent different faces of bilingualism, 

from sociolinguistics to education, psycholinguistics to translation. 

This broad theme reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the organizing

 committee, based in a center of excellence for neuroscientific research

 into language and bilingualism. To capitalize on this expertise, ISB15 

will feature The Bilingual Brain Day, which is intended to share the 

core insights of the field with researchers of other areas and to 

discuss the state-of-the-art with researchers in the field. The
