All members of the NPLD University Network (UniNet) have a common background as academic research and educational institutions. All these institutes are in their daily work dealing with international cooperation, European partnerships, grants, exchanging students in the context of multilingualism, minority languages, identity, bilingualism, etc. The aim of the pilot NPLD UNIVERSITY NETWORK is to make it easier to actively work together as NPLD universities and research institutions in the field of languages, multilingualism, identity and national minorities.
The goals of the UniNet pilot project are the following:
- Establishing more strategic partnerships and enhancing the existing ones between the different universities in our language regions in the field of national minorities, multilingualism, minority languages, language rights, language policy, identity and language teaching
- Practical exchange of existing knowledge of the different universities and/or academic institutions in our language regions in the field of national minorities, multilingualism, minority languages, language rights, language policy, identity and language learning
- Identifying opportunities to develop in 2023/2024 a pilot exchange programme for university students from different language regions in a broader non-language oriented field
