Who are we and how do we do research?

We are researchers who analyse the challenges and potentials of multilingual societies from an interdisciplinary perspective. Our aim is to combine basic research and applied perspectives as well as a broad spectrum of methodological approaches in order to translate our findings into society and teaching 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.
