Abstract

EU language policy promotes and supports multilingualism, and implicitly the plurilingualism, as fundamental principles to foster interpersonal communication and cultural openness between European citizens, eliminating the idea of a single and dominant communication language. The European Council from Barcelona established the European goal of language policy in March 2002, aiming at improving the basic language skills of European citizens, by teaching at least two foreign languages from a very early age. In this respect, the European non-linguistic higher education, and thus the Romanian, must meet the challenges of the EU linguistic policy, through innovative educational programs that encourage multilingualism among students, university teachers and researchers. As evidenced by some best practice examples of some universities in France and Britain, this major European objective contribute to improve the image of the internationalization of universities and scientific media attracting foreign students from different parts of the world.
