Aim of the Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

The conference will focus on scientific exchanges with international experts in developing, implementing, and evaluating language planning initiatives for endangered or minority languages in their respective countries in cooperation with state actors and civil society in order to explore the question of how effective, coordinating language planning can be established and organised at a structural level. The conference will compare language planning models alongside their historical contexts of emergence, development processes, methodologies, successes and failures.<\/p>\n

The main questions<\/strong> of the conference are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of various organisational and decision-making structures in language planning, such as language boards, language commissioners, language agencies, and networks?<\/li>\n
  2. How were these structures established?<\/li>\n
  3. What conditions enable the successful establishment and operation of these structures?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Practical examples will be presented to provide a better understanding of the issues involved.<\/p>\n

    The conference will be held in English<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    The conference presentations will be streamed live (online participation) – link to the live broadcast<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Looking forward to inspiring talks and lively discussions!<\/p>\n
