The freedom to teach, conduct research, and study is inseparable from language, which shapes how knowledge is produced, shared, and contested. A legal framework regulating academic language therefore directly affects the scope of academic freedom. Yet, while Article 13 of the EU Charter guarantees that freedom, it makes no mention of linguistic rights. This raises a crucial question: does academic freedom also include the right to choose the language in which it is exercised? The answer, this piece argues, is yes – but its scope depends on whether we look at the institutional or individual dimension of academic freedom.
