Newsletter January 2021

Dear LangSci supporter, A happy new year to you. This is the latest update on our activities since the last newsletter. Welcome to all new subscribers.

== 91/90 books published for the funding period 2018-2020 ==

In 2017, we started our pledging with the goal to reach 105 institutions giving us 1000 EUR a year from 2018-2020 so that we can produce 30 books/year. We are happy to report that we have met this goal and have published not 90, but 91, books in the funding period. We would like to thank all supporting institutions and all volunteers who contributed their time and ideas to make this possible!
