Observatory of Spanish in Europe | OSE

Who speaks Spanish in Europe, with whom, when, where, and how?

The Observatory of Spanish in Europe is an interdisciplinary research unit at Heidelberg Center for Ibero-American Studies (HCIAS), Heidelberg University for the study of the social, cultural, and linguistic dynamics of Spanish-speaking communities in Europe. The activities of the OSE aim to analyze and explain how Spanish-speaking communities are built, how they preserve the language across generations, and how they create spaces to share culture and knowledge.
