The objective behind the creation of the Chair for Linguistic Rights is the implementation of activities related to the dissemination and recognition of linguistic rights and the promotion of multilingualism as an element of sustainable cultural and linguistic development. 

One of the main objectives of the CDL is to establish ways of collaborating with institutions, universities and civil society organisations in Spain, Europe and abroad which, on a multidisciplinary basis, work in favour of linguistic rights and multilingualism, taking special account of the realities of linguistic and cultural minorities.
