Meeting Description:
On 3 - 4 June 2010, the Mercator Research Centre and the Ministry of Education
of the Basque Government will organise this seminar in Leeuwarden/Ljouwert,
Fryslân, The Netherlands. Their joint research project 'Added Value of
Multilingualism and Multilingual Education' will be the central focus of the
seminar. This multi-annual project is carried out by the Mercator Research
Centre in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country. It is a
comparative study of the Basque Autonomous Community and the province of
Fryslân. It aims at:
1) Analyzing bilingualism and multilingualism as a resource for the individual
and society
2) Analyzing bilingualism and multilingualism as a resource at school
This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $65,000. This money will go to help
keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
