The relationship and collaboration with other institutions is also essential to carry out the different projects. It is worth mentioning the following:

UNESCO Etxea, founded in 1991, institutionally supports our Chair since its creation (2007). UNESCO Etxea aims to disseminate the principles, programs and lines of action of UNESCO in the Basque area. It currently has 132 members who constitute the social base of the entity.

As its name suggests, it brings together the various institutions (educational centers, foundations, cathedrals, etc.) that bear the UNESCO name existing in the Basque Country.

We have been collaborating with Garabide in language cooperation projects since 2013. Currently we continue to collaborate with the language cooperation project in Cauca, Colombia.

The objective of Soziolinguistika Klusterra is to create and manage sociolinguistic knowledge to respond to the needs of the Basque language revitalization process.

Euskal Gorrak (Basque Federation of Associations of Deaf People), acts as coordinator and representative of all the associations of deaf adults in the BAC. It also works to guarantee basic services for deaf people throughout the Basque territory. The collaboration agreement was signed in 2020.

In May 2024 we signed a cooperation agreement with the University of Woxsen (Telangana) in India. The Chair of Language Policy Studies is located at this university.

This collaboration agreement opens up new opportunities for joint projects such as stays in India and the arrival of researchers from India to the UPV/EHU.

In addition, the Chair maintains close links with experts in language teaching at the University of Geneva and with experts in Wales, Ireland and France working on multilingual education and minority languages.
