Scholarly Research The Fryske Akademy focuses on scholarly research into change processes within the Frisian language, multilingualism, history, and regional identity, both in the past and in the present. Institutional and Social Inte- gration and Collaboration The Fryske Akademy is funded by two pub- lic bodies: The Province of Friesland and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Under the Adminis- trative Agreement on the Frisian Language and Culture (BTFC), concluded between the State and the Province, the Fryske Akademy is affiliated with the KNAW. The ties with the Province of Friesland were strengthened, as in previous years, by the award of additional research funding. For many years now, the Fryske Akademy has been collaborating with Tresoar, His- torisch Centrum Leeuwarden, Cedin, Afûk, Groningen University/ Fryslân University Campus, the Fries Museum, Omrop Frys- lân and the Frisian colleges. For the larger part, these parties collaborate within the framework of the ‘Masterplan for the Digitisation of Frisian Heritage’ (‘Deltaplan digitalisering Fries erfgoed’), funded by NUON. The Fryske Akademy frequently organises lectures, seminars, and public events in collaboration with the Frisian knowledge institutions. In addition, vari- ous projects within the framework of the Leeuwarden Capital of Culture 2018 event are under way. Moreover, the lectures, workshops, and publications of our work- groups illustrate that the Fryske Akademy is firmly embedded in the province. Another example of a regionally relevant topic is the historical research into the shrinking region of North-East Friesland, the execution of the language survey into the current state of the Frisian language and the development of a new online Dutch-Frisian dictionary. Within the frame- work of the NWO project ‘FAME’, we have been working on an extensive corpus of spoken Frisian with Radboud University and Omrôp Fryslân. The HisGIS project was extended in collaboration with var- ious heritage institutions, regional gov- ernments, universities, and knowledge institutions to include HisGIS Drenthe and HisGIS Leiden. In addition, a HisGIS Leer pilot project was carried out in collabora- tion with the Ostfriesische Landschaft. International collaboration Thanks to three endowed professor- ships and several joint doctoral research programmes, there are collaborations with a large number of universities. The current PhD research carried out at the Akademy is co-financed by the universities of Leiden, Amsterdam, Groningen, and Maastricht. Joint research proposals were submitted in conjunction with Eindhoven Technical University, the University of Lou- vain, and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The Mercator European Research Centre for Multilingualism and Language Learning is firmly embedded in a network of interna- tional partners. Its staff members participate in the Mercator Network, consisting of five research and documentation centres in Catalonia, Wales, Budapest, and Eskilstuna. The Mercator Knowledge Centre also plays a part in the European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages. The international Network of Schools is a collaboration between 105 schools in 20 European countries. In addi- tion, the Centre concluded collaboration agreements with the School of Oriental and African Studies at London University and several parties in the Basque country. As its secretary and coordinator, the Knowledge Centre is involved in various European projects with partners from Greece, Poland, Latvia, Norway, and Belgium, among other countries. International initiatives arising from other fields were rewarded as well. In March, the History Network for the North Netherlands and North-West Germany was launched at a meeting in Leer. The Fryske Akademy has taken on the role of secretary. In addition, the Fryske Akademy took the initiative to establish a research network within the Re- gional Studies Association (RSA), focusing on the history of regional economic policy. The research into Old Frisian benefited from the collaboration with the universities of Cardiff, Copenhagen, Cambridge, and Glasgow with- in the Voices of Law network, funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The lexicographers con- tinued their participation in Cost-ENel (Euro- pean Network of e-Lexicography) until 2017. The collaboration with China was expand- ed. The Industrialization Language Contact and Identity Formation in the China/Europe network was converted into the Urban Lan- guage Studies Association, an international organisation of researchers. Research themes The research department of the Fryske Akademy switched to a project-based or- ganisation structure in 2015. In 2016, the cross-curricular and inter-disciplinary re- search was divided over seven research themes: Multilingualism and language acquisition; Language description and standardisation; Synchrony and diachrony in language; Power, possession, and space in Friesland; Medieval legal traditions; Culture in early-modern Friesland; and Economic clusters. Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Research No doctoral research programmes were completed in 2016. However, staff members of the Fryske Akademy (co-)supervised two external doctoral theses.

Statement of Income and Expenditure The operating result is € 473,941 higher than budgeted. This was mainly the result of decreased wage costs since vacancies were filled later than planned, partial release of provisions previously set aside for the reorganisation, and the receipt of several legacies. The deficit is made up from the Akademy’s own funds that were earmarked for research and the modernisation of operations. >>> 2016 Realisation Budget Difference Percentages Income 3,849,680 3,783,370 66,310 1.8% Expenditure 3,948,308 4,355,939 -407,631 -9.4% Balance -98,628 -572,569 473,941 23 34 Total <25 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 >65 0 0 0 0 6 6 4 7 8 3 8 15 Distribution by Age and by Gender 2016 Members of the Supervisory Board • Prof. Jacob Fokkema (chairman) • Jan-Meinte Postma (deputy chairman) • Hanneke Lens (as from 1 May 2016) • Houkje Rijpstra • Prof. Fred Weerman (until September) Early December, Mr Postma and Mrs Lens resigned as members of the Supervisory Board on account of a difference in opin- ion on the budget methodology of the Fryske Akademy.

Scholarly ResearchThe Fryske Akademy focuses on scholarly research into change processes within the Frisian language, multilingualism, history, and regional identity, both in the past and in the present.

Institutional and Social Inte-gration and CollaborationThe Fryske Akademy is funded by two pub­lic bodies: The Province of Friesland and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Under the Adminis­trative Agreement on the Frisian Language and Culture (BTFC), concluded between the State and the Province, the Fryske Akademy is affiliated with the KNAW. The ties with the Province of Friesland were strengthened, as in previous years, by the award of additional research funding.

For many years now, the Fryske Akademy has been collaborating with Tresoar, His­torisch Centrum Leeuwarden, Cedin, Afûk, Groningen University/ Fryslân University Campus, the Fries Museum, Omrop Frys­lân and the Frisian colleges. For the larger part, these parties collaborate within the framework of the ‘Masterplan for the Digitisation of Frisian Heritage’ (‘Deltaplan digitalisering Fries erfgoed’), funded by NUON. The Fryske Akademy frequently organises lectures, seminars, and public events in collaboration with the Frisian knowledge institutions. In addition, vari­ous projects within the framework of the Leeuwarden Capital of Culture 2018 event

are under way. Moreover, the lectures, workshops, and publications of our work­groups illustrate that the Fryske Akademy is firmly embedded in the province.

Another example of a regionally relevant topic is the historical research into the shrinking region of North­East Friesland, the execution of the language survey into the current state of the Frisian language and the development of a new online Dutch­Frisian dictionary. Within the frame­work of the NWO project ‘FAME’, we have been working on an extensive corpus of spoken Frisian with Radboud University and Omrôp Fryslân. The HisGIS project was extended in collaboration with var­ious heritage institutions, regional gov­ernments, universities, and knowledge institutions to include HisGIS Drenthe and HisGIS Leiden. In addition, a HisGIS Leer pilot project was carried out in collabora­tion with the Ostfriesische Landschaft.

International collaborationThanks to three endowed professor­ships and several joint doctoral research programmes, there are collaborations with a large number of universities. The current PhD research carried out at the Akademy is co-financed by the universities of Leiden, Amsterdam, Groningen, and Maastricht. Joint research proposals were submitted in conjunction with Eindhoven Technical University, the University of Lou­vain, and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

The Mercator European Research Centre for Multilingualism and Language Learning is firmly embedded in a network of interna­tional partners. Its staff members participate in the Mercator Network, consisting of five research and documentation centres in Catalonia, Wales, Budapest, and Eskilstuna. The Mercator Knowledge Centre also plays a part in the European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages. The international Network of Schools is a collaboration between 105 schools in 20 European countries. In addi­tion, the Centre concluded collaboration agreements with the School of Oriental and African Studies at London University and several parties in the Basque country. As its secretary and coordinator, the Knowledge Centre is involved in various European projects with partners from Greece, Poland, Latvia, Norway, and Belgium, among other countries.

International initiatives arising from other fields were rewarded as well. In March, the History Network for the North Netherlands

and North­West Germany was launched at a meeting in Leer. The Fryske Akademy has taken on the role of secretary. In addition, the Fryske Akademy took the initiative to establish a research network within the Re­gional Studies Association (RSA), focusing on the history of regional economic policy. The research into Old Frisian benefited from the collaboration with the universities of Cardiff, Copenhagen, Cambridge, and Glasgow with­in the Voices of Law network, funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The lexicographers con­tinued their participation in Cost­ENel (Euro­pean Network of e­Lexicography) until 2017.

The collaboration with China was expand­ed. The Industrialization Language Contact and Identity Formation in the China/Europe network was converted into the Urban Lan­guage Studies Association, an international organisation of researchers.

Research themes The research department of the Fryske Akademy switched to a project­based or­ganisation structure in 2015. In 2016, the cross­curricular and inter­disciplinary re­search was divided over seven research themes: Multilingualism and language acquisition; Language description and standardisation; Synchrony and diachrony in language; Power, possession, and space in Friesland; Medieval legal traditions; Culture in early­modern Friesland; and Economic clusters.

Doctoral and Post-Doctoral ResearchNo doctoral research programmes were completed in 2016. However, staff members of the Fryske Akademy (co­)supervised two external doctoral theses.

Statement of Income and Expenditure

The operating result is € 473,941 higher than budgeted. This was mainly the result of decreased wage costs since vacancies were filled later than planned, partial release of provisions previously set aside for the reorganisation, and the receipt of several legacies. The deficit is made up from the Akademy’s own funds that were earmarked for research and the modernisation of operations.
