SurveyLang
As part of the Surveylang consortium, Gallup has been mandated by the European Commission to carry out a pioneering survey on the language competences of young Europeans.
The Inception Report of the European Survey of Language Competences (ESLC) was approved by the Commission on 10 July 2008, meaning that work on implementing the ESLC can now proceed in earnest.
A key early focus is the establishment of National Research Centres and National Research Coordinators within participating countries in order to meet project deadlines. The first meeting of the National Research Centres with Gallup and the rest of the SurveyLang consortium will take place in Krakow, Poland, from 29 to 31 October.
The meeting in Krakow is intended as a detailed briefing and will focus on the areas of responsibility for the National Research Coordinators. From this, participating countries should take away a clear view of the personnel and skills needed to establish local teams and of the national costs involved.
