You are free to download and print the dossiers for personal use. We would appreciate it if you could let us know if you print a dossier in large numbers for distribution at conferences, events etc.
Saskia Benedictus and Tjallien Kalsbeek are responsible for the edition of the Mercator Research Centre Regional dossiers series. You can contact Tjallien for any questions or suggestions. Moreover, as we would like to inform about all language communities within member states of the Council of Europe, organisations or specialists in the field of education can express their interest for compiling a report. Considering our annual schedule and your time we can come to a mutual agreement to include your publication in our Regional dossiers series.
