OPERAS National Nodes

OPERAS has started to build up national communities within 2021. National nodes play a pivotal role in establishing a connection point to outside the OPERAS community, in promoting a proximity relation with local communities, helping to identify needs, provide services and training. They are in a decisive position to find a balanced solution for the keeping of national languages as fully scientific valid modes of expression while promoting them on the international level. In this sense, national nodes are important to aggregate existing approaches and resources from the national community, to contribute at a European level to OPERAS.

On the other side, it is also relevant to systematically connect relevant national stakeholders in individual countries. Furthermore, national nodes are especially important to coordinate and link these approaches and raise awareness of what is being developed at a national level. In several countries within the OPERAS Executive Assembly members, approaches to implement national nodes are arising.

Two of the current national nodes receive additional funding: the Max Weber Stiftung extended the national network through the OPERAS-GER project (funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research), and IBL PAN by building up OPERAS-PL by the Polish Ministry of Education and Science. Other nodes are currently building up and working with the institutions’ in-kind contributions.
