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.

In ELEBILAB they study language and plurilingualism both at school and at home from from different points of view (social and psychological, children and adults, discourse and grammar).

They analyse oral and written productions collected in various contexts and at different stages of  acquisition and learning processes of bi/plurilingual subjects.

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

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.

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.

UNESCO Chairs of UPV/EHU:

• UNESCO Chair in Communication and Educational Values.
• UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Development and Environmental Education
• UNESCO Chair on Cultural Landscapes and Heritage
• UNESCO Chair on Human Rights and Public Powers
