Methodology

The design and organization of the XIX Congress of Basque Studies conforms to the ideology and operating principles of Eusko Ikaskuntza. This affects both the creation of working groups and the selection of speakers and topics, as well as the establishment of collaboration networks:

  • Interdisciplinarity. The XIX Congress aspires to attract the participation of people from different disciplines, from the constitution of the working groups and the previous activities, to the congress days themselves.
  • Interterritoriality. The scope of the XIX Congress is the set of the seven Basque territories. The presence of people from all of them and the themes, narratives, problems or activities that will be the object of treatment, guarantee that interterritorial character.
  • Citizen opening. The XIX Congress is a forum open to specialists, university teachers and researchers, representatives of companies and public entities, but also organizations and associations belonging to civil society.
  • Intergenerationality. The presence and active participation of young people along with other age segments is considered of particular importance.
  • Interinstitutional collaboration . The Congress offers a framework of collaboration and trust for the common work of the different public, private and social agents who work towards the cohesion of the Country.
  • Pluriling ism. Basque, Spanish and French are the official languages. Each participant will be able to express themselves in any of them.
  • The gender perspective is integrated into the organizational process, in decision-making areas and in ordinary work.
  • Plurality and ideological impartiality. The XIX Congress of Basque Studies assumes ideological pluralism and non-partiality as one of its guiding principles, from the understanding that the democratic wealth of a country is based on its capacity to build from diversity.
  • Internationalization. The Basque diaspora will be present at the Congress; Likewise, there will be international speakers and/or participants.
