Meeting Description :
The Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, in cooperation with Linguistics Institute at the Russian Academy of Sciences, University of Salzburg and Charles University Eastern European Institute, invite researchers to take part in the International Research and Practice Conference entitled “Crossing Boundaries : Intercultural Communication in a Global Context.”
The conference will be held February 14-16, 2018, at the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute.
The dynamics of sociocultural changes in the modern global world reveal the diversity in the way intercultural communication exists in a multiethnic environment. The conference is expected to consider the most acute and dynamic processes taking place in Russian and other language cultures, through the prism of today’s research approaches, formed in different countries and in line with different scientific schools and trends. In particular, we will be focusing on the culture theory, cultural differences, modern technologies in intercultural communication, as well as digital communication.
The aim of the conference is to achieve ’’methodological understanding’’ between researchers in the field of intercultural communication.
The working languages of the conference will be Russian and English.
The form of participation in the conference is full-time.
