Research Projects

New £4 Million Pound Research Project

OWRI Multi-lingualism Project

The Queen's strand of the Open World Research Initiative is led by Profs Janice Carruthers and Micheal O'Mainnin, in collaboration with partners including the University of Cambridge.

"The goal of the project is to change attitudes amongst the general public to raise awareness of how speaking more than one language can contribute so crucially to society and to have an impact at policy level, both in devolved administrations and in Whitehall." (Prof. Carruthers)
