Independent of particular countries and campuses, it is open to all.

It exists to create well-structured and intellectually-hospitable gatherings of international scholars in attractive settings.

Founded in 1998, in Wales, it has met by rotation – initially every two years, and now every year: in Aquitaine, Brittany, Ireland, Québec, Scotland, Wales and Portugal. From its first meeting in 2000, its two official languages have been English and French. Attendances at the most recent conferences have been in excess of 500 delegates.
