The event is organised by the Center for Research and Studies in Sociology at the Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon (CIES-Iscte),  the Research Center for General and Applied Linguistics at the  University of Coimbra (CELGA-ILTEC), and the Programme in Portuguese as a Foreign Language/Second Language at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Lisbon.
