Brief des Zentrums für Computerlinguistik der Karlsuniversität Prag

Dear Professor Gäbler,

We have been informed that the Rector and the Council of the University of Basel have announced that they are planning to close, among other institutes, also that of SLAVISTICS.

We have been shocked by this announcement, since for several years we have had very good and intensive contacts with the Institute of Slavistics of your university and we know that it is a highly competitive and efficient institute with a long tradition. The level and intensity of its activities in research and in education belong to the best not only in Switzerland, but in the whole of Europe. Moreover, the domain of Slavistics is unusually extended and complex (including significant specific subdomains from the typological characteristics of grammar to great tradition of Slavic literatures), so that the institute naturally and necessarily cooperates with several other institutes of your university, which would thus loose a very important and relevant component of its profile.
We are therefore deeply convinced that it would be a serious mistake and a big loss for your university if its Institute of Slavistics were closed. It certainly is of high importance to change your decision to the positive, not impoverishing the university.
