Bilingualism Matters launched in March 2022 as a new social enterprise spin-out organisation from the University of Edinburgh, where the original research and information centre founded in 2008 by Professor Antonella Sorace is still based. We work with our growing international network of research centres to further our collective mission communicating research findings on bilingualism and language learning to the wider public.
