The first Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world (BHL) conference will take place at Leiden University (the Netherlands) on January 14-16, 2015.
BHL
The goal of the BHL is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Hence, the BHL will be dedicated to research in any area related to bilingualism, including theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, second language and bilingual acquisition, heritage languages, and psycholinguistics. By bringing together researchers from different perspectives we will be able to share new insights regarding methodology and get a better understanding of bilingualism.

Travelling to Leiden
Arrival by air
Taking the train is the best means of getting to Leiden from the airport. Trains depart from Schiphol Airport to Leiden every 10 to 15 minutes. The trains to Leiden usually depart from tracks 5 or 6. Travelling to Leiden will take about 20 minutes. An OV chip card, which you need to travel by public transport in the Netherlands, can be bought at a ticket dispenser (in front of the stairs leading to the tracks) or at the booking office near Schiphol Plaza. A 2nd class ticket costs 5,60 euros; 1st class costs 9,50 euros. You can check the train schedule on www.ns.nl.Arrival by car
When travelling from Amsterdam, the A44 is the best route to take. Make sure you take the A44, not the A4 which also connects Amsterdam, Leiden and The Hague, but runs along the other side of the city! Turn off at the “Leiden” exit, and drive towards the city. After a while you will pass under the railway line.
Make sure you take the right lane, as you will have to go straight on into the Mors Singel at the traffic lights just after the railway line (do not take the tunnel on your left). Turn right into the Morsweg. Follow the Morsweg, until you reach a railway crossing. Cross the railway line and turn immediately left over the bridge.Turn left again at the traffic lights into the Haagweg; just after the second railway crossing there is a car park (see below).
When travelling from Rotterdam/The Hague, the A4 is the best route to take. Take the “Zoeterwoude” exit and follow the direction toward Leiden (this is the N206). Turn left at the first junction in the direction of Katwijk (not the centre of Leiden) and very soon right at the first major junction (still in the direction of Katwijk). You are now on the Churchillaan.
When you reach the junction (with traffic lights) with the Haagweg, turn right at the traffic lights in the direction of Leiden centre. On the right-hand side, just past the railway crossing, there is a car park at the Haagweg. This car park is in walking distance of the venue.
