Who are we and how do we conduct research?

We are researchers who analyse the challenges and potentials of multilingual societies from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our aim is to integrate fundamental research with applied perspectives and a wide range of methodological approaches, in order to translate our findings into societal impact and education practice in a timely manner.

Multilingualism, migration and cultural transformation

Modern societies are facing multiple challenges and crises. Migration and multilingualism are transforming political, economic and social structures and systems as well as individual and cultural identities.
