Languages, Cultures, and Professionally- oriented Education under Globalization: Business and Translation within the Euro-Arab Framework
April 18-20, 2010 Cairo, Egypt A Trilingual Conference (French, English, Arabic)
The Faculty of Applied Languages at the French University in Egypt in collaboration with the Faculty of Foreign Applied Languages at the University of Paris 3- Sorbonne Nouvelle organizes an international conference.
