ADUM is searching for new Case Studies

The ADUM project is willing to offer through its website a new set of Case Studies to complement those currently available, in order to give updated information on successfully funded projects under the new generation of EU programmes. We kindly invite you, too, to let us know any example of such projects as well as any contact details of the person/institution in charge of the coordinating tasks. In this regard, the ADUM team is willing to collect basic information on project proposals and the process leading to its award of funds. In case you can help us improve our website, please write to: svilarov@uoc.edu


The Network to Promote Linguistic Diversity (NPLD) has been launched

The NPLD has been established to further enhance and facilitate linguistic diversity in Europe. It is in a position to work for the meaningful realisation of European cultural and linguistic diversity and equality of all European languages. Official working status at EU and member state level gives a language recognition, both legally and socially, and secures an important linguistic domain in terms of reversing language shift and ensuring linguistic rights. The NPLD aims to ensure legal and working status for its members’ languages at the various levels of governance in the EU.

For further information about the forthcoming launch of NPLD's website, subscriptions, queries, etc. please contact: heledd.daniel@bwrdd-yr-iaith.org.uk

Did you attend the Public Hearing on Multilingualism (Brussels, April 15th)?

We would like to know your views on the European Commission public hearing on the place and role of languages within the EU, and specifically in relation to minority languages.

Please post your comments and share your opinion.

The consultation proved to be one of the most popular public surveys ever carried out on EU policies. The Commission is seeking to adapt its policies and actions in the area of languages in order to reflect the reality of an EU with over 450 million citizens and around 60 different mother tongues.
