The 6th Nitobe Symposium is on "Languages and Internationalization in Higher Education: Ideologies, Practices, Alternatives", July 18-20, 2013, at the National Museum of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.
From the Symposium website: "The symposium will be particularly concerned with the expanding use of English-medium instruction in higher education and the repercussions, positive and negative, of this development. The symposium will also examine alternative approaches."
Organized by the Centre for Research and Documentation on World Language Problems (CRD), the Symposium's multilingual Background Papers themselves are useful reading. And here is the list of Paper Summaries.
