After more than a decade since our establishment as a research and information centre based at the University of Edinburgh, we are delighted that Bilingualism Matters has launched as a spin-out social enterprise. We celebrated the official launch on 30 March 2022 in Edinburgh, where the new social enterprise is based, at the Royal Society of Edinburgh. The event was live-streamed to enable everyone around the world interested in the work of Bilingualism Matters to join us.
