Our programs

Education

ESF’s initiatives in education include innovative web-based learning environments for learners and teachers of Esperanto, projects in global and intercultural education, and high-quality learning materials. We also support the North American Summer Esperanto Institute, the longest-running university-level program of this kind in the world.

Research

A central focus for ESF since its inception has been to provide funding for original research on issues of language equality, interlingual communication, and the history and sociolinguistics of Esperanto. We have supported the development of invaluable tools for researchers in these fields, including databases (corpora) of written and spoken Esperanto, a series of research bibliographies, and research libraries in Europe and North America.

Language Policy and Planning

In addition to our research mission, ESF works to raise the level of public and political debate on equitable and effective solutions to language problems. Through conferences, publications, and networking, we seek to bring together a wide range of academics, policymakers, government officials, journalists and activists to develop common ground on language policies and language planning issues. Our ongoing support of the Nitobe Process is one of our most important vehicles for stimulating dialogue amongst these diverse stakeholder groups.
