With the aim of promoting Catalan Studies abroad, the Institute Ramon Llull has a grant programme designed for universities outside of Catalan-speaking areas to aid in introducing or consolidating the teaching of Catalan language, culture and literature in their curricula. These grants are primarily meant to cover the costs of contracting teachers of Catalan Studies.
Likewise, the Institut Ramon Llull encourages advanced studies and research on Catalan language and culture through support provided to establish Visiting Professor Chairs and Catalan Study Centres at internationally recognised foreign universities.
