April 3rd 2018 - The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the award of an Advanced Grant of approximately 2.5 million euros to the Documenting Multiculturalism Project. 
 
The ERC review panel judged the project to be "a remarkable example of interdisciplinary cooperation, led by top scholars ... adopting a ground-breaking, bottom-up perspective". The panel considered the use of legal documents to address legal, cultural and linguistic challenges to be one of the strengths of the project, together with the usefulness of the research tools that will be produced, which will have a major impact on knowledge in the field. The panel also noted the international partnership between the University of Oxford and the Università degli Studi di Palermo to be a particular strength.
