"It is only natural that an AILA World congress in Europe should focus on aspects of multilingual matters and the linguistic richness of this continent. The European Union and the Council of Europe have a clearly defined policy to preserve Europe as a multilingual and multicultural region. Because of the expansion of the European Union in the coming years, multilingualism and the challenges and opportunities connected with it will be a very topical theme in 2008, thus attracting a lot of attention and promising to be a great stimulus for academic debate. Consequently, the GAL-Executive and the AGM chose MULTILINGUALISM:
Challenges and Opportunities as the theme for the 2008 congress."
At the 9th Theoretical Issues in Sign Linguistics Research (TISLR) conference in Brazil in December 2006, the Sign Language Linguistic Society (SLLS) was founded to support the sign linguistics field. The society is run by an elected board chaired by Prof Anne Baker with the assistance of an elected advisory board representing all regions of the globe and an auditing committee.

AILA issues three different publications:
- AILA News
- AILA Review
- AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS)
AILA News
AILA News is a twice yearly newsletter with information on internal matters of AILA and its affiliates. It is edited by Richard Baldauf and Steward Campbell. They restarted the AILA News (New Series) as an electronic publication in 1998. It is distributed online to all AILA affiliates, associates and individual members.
AILA Review
AILA Review is a scholarly journal of AILA. Its first issue appeared in 1984, and from 1989, all volumes are guest-edited and thematically oriented. Up to volume 16, the journal was published by AILA itself. From volume 16 onwards, AILA Review is published by John Benjamins.
AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS)
AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS) is a book series published under the editorial responsibility of AILA at John Benjamins, Amsterdam.
Third Party Publications
The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) publishes articles that explore the relationship between expertise in linguistics, broadly defined, and the everyday experience of language. Its scope is international in that it welcomes articles which show explicitly how local issues of language use or learning exemplify more global concerns.

AILA is looking for researchers interested in organizing Research Networks (ReN) focused on special topic areas of Applied Linguistics. If you would like to work internationally on your area of research together with other scholars from all over the world, you might consider applying to be a ReN organizer.
Research Networks (ReNs) seek to promote the gathering and dissemination of information and the undertaking of research in all academic areas of AILA with a particular focus on areas that have the potential for new cross-disciplinary research.
ReNs exist for three years and can be renewed. At any point in time, there will be about 15 ReNs in existence. Generally, the life of an ReN is not expected to be longer than six years. Renewals beyond the six years would be determined by the criteria listed below.
For the formation of an ReN, the following criteria should be met:
- at least five members, some of whom should be new scholars,
- multinational composition,
- participants are active in the research area of the ReN,
- a program for research activities for the three years between congresses and a commitment to present at the upcoming AILA World Congress,
- nominate from among their members one individual as the organizer of the respective ReN who liases with the ReN Coordinator.
page top 
How to set up a ReN
For new applications, the ReN organizer must submit a proposal to the ReN Coordinator at least two months prior to the World Congress. The proposal should consist of
- a statement concerning the scope of the ReN,
- a list of the participants of the ReN and their affiliation,
- a plan for ReN activities for the upcoming three years, and
- a commitment to fill their ReN slot at the AILA Congress three years hence.
Each ReN organizer is responsible for a brief written report to the ReN Coordinator on an annual basis.
When possible, AILA will, upon written request, consider limited financial support for ReN activities.
Applications to set up a new ReN should be directed to the AILA ReN Coordinator.

How a former Scientific Commission (SC) can continue as a ReN
If a current Scientific Commision (SC) of AILA has been demonstrably active, it may continue its research as an ReN by meeting the criteria listed in the section above.
For continuation as a ReN, the presently designated SC convener and, in future, the ReN organizer must submit to the ReN Coordinator no more than two months following the World Congress a proposal which demonstrates an active research profile in the preceding three years. In addition, at the most recent AILA Congress, they must have filled their SC/ReN slot with presentations relating to the domain of their ReN/SC.
Specifically, the proposal should consist of:
- evidence of past activities including a description of the session at the most recent AILA World Congress and a statement of evolving research interests of the ReN/existing SC,
- a plan for ReN activities for the upcoming three years,
- a list of the participants of the ReN and their affiliation,
- a commitment to fill their ReN slot at the AILA Congress three years hence.
The decision for renewal will be based on fulfillment of the above criteria as determined by the ReN-Committee as defined in the Bylaws of AILA.
It will be the task of the ReN coordinator to notify the ReN organizers of the specific submission date for proposals to continue and the criteria for continuation.
ReN organizers will be notified of the decision no later than two months after the proposal submission deadline.
