First research results published within the ELDIA project
The research project ELDIA (European Language Diversity for All) studies and compares 14 different language groups in eight European countries. The goal of the project is to collect knowledge about how to strengthen minority languages in Europe and globally. The project runs during the period March 2010 – June 2013 and the role of the Åland Islands Peace Institute is to develop the legal and institutional analyses. The project is funded by the 7th Framework Programme for Research of the European Union.
The first preliminary results of the project have now been published within the report series Working Papers in European Language Diversity which is available at the project website: http://www.eldia-project.org/. Among the first working papers can be mentioned studies on Karelian in Finland and the languages Voru and Seto in Estonia. Through a study of the position of the Estonian language in Germany, Sarah Stephan, LL.M., researcher at the Åland Islands Peace Institute is able to trace current developments concerning the position of languages and of multilingualism in German political and legal debates. The report can be found here.
