The Slovene Association of LSP Teachers (SDUTSJ) is happy to announce its fourth international conference dedicated to languages for specific purposes which will be held from 14 to 16 May, 2026 in Terme Čatež thermal resort (Čatež ob Savi, Slovenia). Through the presentation of research findings, knowledge, experience, and examples of good practice in the field of LSP, the conference will offer a unique platform for vibrant and productive exchange of perspectives among LSP scholars across Europe and beyond.
