The Mercator Research Centre launches an Expert of the Month-series on its website. The first Expert of the Month will be Kadri Koreinik, sociologist and specialist in language studies especially in linguistic phenomena at the Võro Instituut in Estonia. She is also the author of one of the Mercator Research Centre Regional Dossiers Võro: The Võro language in education in Estonia (due to be published).

From now on each month there will be a new Expert of the Month, with rich content and analysis from experts in the field of regional and minority languages, small and immigrant languages in Europe, bilingualism and multilingualism, language learning and education. The Expert of the Month feature gives web visitors the chance to interact one-in-one with the Ask the expert-section. The feature also provides interesting and insightful comments regarding the subjects mentioned above, in-depth content and exclusive Q and A.
