The Linguamón–UOC Chair in Multilingualism is the result of a cooperation agreement that was signed between Linguamón-House of Languages and the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (the Open University of Catalonia) in November 2006 in order to promote a concept of linguistic diversity that is sustainable, equitable and functional. This cooperation forms part of the multilingualism strategies of the European Union, one of the most significant actions of which is the constitution of networks of university chairs for this topic.
