“As bi-/multilingual education continues to gain momentum as a dynamic field of research, practice, and advocacy globally, there is a growing need for a unified, strategic vision to guide its systematic internationalization. As scholars dedicated to advancing bi-/multilingual education within and beyond our national contexts, we are excited and honored to introduce you to the work of the International and Comparative Bi-/Multilingual Education Research Group (ICBERG).

At ICBERG, we envision a global movement and a vibrant community of interculturally aware, open-minded, and engaged scholar-practitioners. Together, we are committed to forging innovative, transnational pathways for research, practice, professional development, and advocacy in bi-/multilingual education. Drawing from diverse conceptual, theoretical, and research traditions across the world, ICBERG aims to be a steadfast force for fostering international partnerships, nurturing collaborations, and driving globally-informed innovations that make a meaningful impact within, across, and beyond national borders.

We warmly invite members of the Center for Intercultural Dialogue with an interest in bi-/multilingual education research to participate in our EduTalk Series.
