The Civil Society Platform to promote Multilingualism was launched by the European Commission in October 2009. Since then 29 selected member organisations*, active in the fields of culture, non-formal and informal education systems and media, interested in issues connected to multilingualism with a trans-national or European-wide dimension have delivered a set of recommendations to EU policy makers in order to improve multilingualism policy on EU, Members State and regional level. The ongoing EC co-funded Poliglotti4.eu project, to which nine of the platform members have committed, is intended to set up an online Language Observatory until December 2012.
