The request for funding from the ANR via the MRSEI programme aims to support the preparation of an European Doctoral Network “MSCA Doctoral Network - Joint Doctorates” of the Horizon Europe work Programme. The title of the project is: European Language Awareness (EuLaWa). Motivated by the goal to promote and contribute to the sustainable development of plurilingualism, an essential component of European citizenship in a multilingual and multicultural Europe, the EuLaWa network is based on the collaboration of university lecturers and researchers specializing in German Linguistics and Romance Linguistics including a contrastive dimension, and involving 6 European languages that belong to 3 language families: German, Danish, French, Italian, Polish and Czech. As an official language in several European countries and a working language of the European institutions, German will be the lingua franca of the network. The aim of the project is to train a pool of highly qualified young graduates with solid and directly exploitable skills in various future-oriented professional areas characterized by many requirements of plurilingual competences, in particular the sectors of digital technologies, business communication in multinational groups, translation, tourism and plurilingual education. At the interface between academic research and technological innovation, the network is based on an internal scientific structure with four main, closely correlated scientific poles: "Communication in a multilingual society in the digital age: practices, discourses, stereotypes", "Language policy and European citizenship", "Information systems and specialized communication: lexicography and translation", "Foreign language teaching/learning and plurilingual education". Specific interdisciplinary and intersectoral research activities will lead to the development of new digital tools related to European societal evolution and migration flows such as the creation of new dictionary resources and specialized multilingual terminological glossaries adapted to business needs, the development of innovative pedagogical resources to support the learning and teaching of foreign languages, and the improvement of current mono- and bilingual digital dictionaries aimed at eliminating widely-held gender stereotypes. In this way, the EuLaWa network will not only strengthen France's role as a driving force for European joint research at university level, which is unprecedented in this field, but also the EU's innovation potential through the synergy implemented between different academic and non-academic partners. The network currently includes 8 European universities, including one in Switzerland, and 13 associated non-academic partners, bringing together at this stage multinational companies, translation agencies, publishing companies and research organizations. Innovative, intersectoral and international, the EuLaWa network will offer participants exceptional mobility in the 9 countries currently covered: Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland, for short data collection missions and/or consultations of specialists or for a longer period of secondment. It provides for the training of 15 PhD candidates financed by MCSA funds and one additional PhD candidate financed by Swiss funds (SERI), within the framework of thesis co-supervisions (‘cotuelles’). The ANR MRSEI grant is essential to consolidate the consortium and to organize a number of workshops in 2023 in order to improve the excellence of the proposed research and training doctoral programme.
