The newsletter (in English) is published every month. Subscription is free (and you can unsubscribe at any time).

About the Mercator Network

The longest-running partnership of the Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language in Leeuwarden (NL) is the Mercator Network. This Network was founded in 1987, and at that time consisted of three institutions: Mercator Education (the forerunner of Mercator European Research Centre), Mercator Legislation (CIEMEN/ University of Barcelona, Spain) and Mercator Media (University of Aberystwyth, United Kingdom). Since then the network has existed in various forms, and gradually expanded with the HUN-REN Hungarian Research Centre for Linguistics - Eötvös Loránd Research Network (Budapest, Hungary) and the Institute for Slavic and Baltic languages, Finnish, Dutch and German (University of Stockholm, Sweden).

Together, the partners produce the Mercator Network Newsletter every month, with news on the activities of the Mercator Network research institutes and the latest news on education and policy changes related to minority languages in Europe. On average, the newsletter has about 2,100 subscribers.
