Vosicki, Brigitte Forster
- Abstract
In parallel with the creation of the European Higher Education Area and the resulting processes of transformation and internationalisation, the Rectorate of the University of Lausanne created, in 2003, a Language Policy Commission composed of language experts, representatives from every faculty, students and staff members. The aim of this commission is to adopt, at institutional level, systematic and informed treatment of the question of languages and to promote plurilingualism and pluriculturality as an essential condition for quality in teaching, in research and in the promotion of the University in an internationalized context. Through diverse actions this forum allows, on the one hand to establish a clear picture of the status quo in the faculties and services, and on the other to raise awareness, deepen understanding and develop strategies for action on the part of the faculties and the University.
