This event took place in MTU Cork (Bishopstown campus) on June 18^th 2025, as part of a research project funded by INGENIUM and involving research partners from universities in France, Ireland, Sweden and Romania.

Participants from HE in Ireland, Romania, France and Belgium contributed to this lively and engaging event, which included presentations highlighting innovations and best practice in the fields of MFL pedagogies, supporting internationalisation and intercultural communication both within HEIs and at a multinational, multi-organisational European level.

The event concluded with a round table discussion focusing on potential ways forward, relevant stake holders and policy design and implementation strategies. The SYMPOSIUM shined a light on the ongoing INGENIUM funded project that is at its origin, and brought together representatives from across the HEI sector to share ideas, and reflect.

We, hope that this event paves the way for future national and international collaborations and meaningful joint initiatives to enhance HE.
