Overview of Working Groups
1. WG1 Research

The aim is to create inclusive research communities which go beyond the conventional hierarchical research structures and promote inclusiveness in research.
WG leader: Dr Esther Kilchmann.
2. WG2 Education: Textbook and Teaching Material / WG3 Education: Teacher Training
WG2 Education: Textbook and Teaching Material / WG3 Education: Teacher Training Literary
Multilingualism has still to become central to the field of education. This Working Group makes the connection between the superdiverse multilingual worlds of the learners and educators that impact society beyond the field of education including professional opportunities and economic and symbolic status. In addition, the Group will explore the potential cultural and aesthetic value of multilingual literature in education and devise best-practice guidelines and toolkits for educators.
3. WG4 Literary scene: Text Production / WG5 Literary Scene: Transfer
Literary scene: Text Production and Literary Scene: Transfer Questioning the monolingual paradigm necessitates a remodelling of the literary scene, market and production. This Working Group will study current structural patterns across European borders encompassing literary awards and scholarships, readings, festivals and book fairs to promote novel ways to organise literary scenes which bring multilingual literatures to the forefront.
WG4 Leader: Prof Johann Georg Lughofer
WG5 Leader: Dr Myriam-Naomi Walburg
4. WG6 Connections
