Research Structure

Research within LINEE is organized in four Thematic Areas:

• Language, Identity and Culture: Examines how language, identity and culture relate to each other and by what other factors they might be influenced in which way.
• Language Policy and Planning: Examines the adequacy of the existing language policy and language planning efforts in the EU countries.
• Multilingualism and Education: Examines how young people develop an embracing capacity to behave in a flexible and adequate manner in concrete multilingual contexts.
• Language and Economy: Examines the interplay between language and economy and aims to provide results that can impact on the building of a knowledge-based society.

Each Thematic Area is divided into three levels: European, national and regional. This structure (4 Thematic Areas, 3 levels of analysis) results in 12 Work Packages.

The research of these 12 Work Packages is then integrated in an over-arching project called "Research Platforms".
