Eve University Opening 3 New Ethnic Corporations
15 May 2012, 7:00 pm



Our universe of New Eden is expanding by leaps and bounds. We are witnessing a unique time in history when the opportunity to become a capsuleer is being offered to more cultures than ever before. Eve University is capitalizing on this with the addition of new divisions.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting with Kelduum Revaan, CEO of Eve University and CSM7 representative. Their organization is spearheading the welcoming of new capsuleers into New Eden with the formation of three new corporations targeting three major ethnic groups within New Eden - German, Russian, and Japanese, with possible corporate expansions into other New Eden ethnicities if these endeavors are successful. Each group will have its own CEO and command structure, all under the guidance and direction of Eve University.

"Progress has been slow but steady. Most of our work has been toward ensuring our frameworks we have can scale and support different languages, as well as selecting the Director of Operations for each of the new corporations.", stated Kelduum. "Our existing Ivy League Navy will be expanded to encompass the new corporations, and we are working on cross-language fleet communications protocols to allow non-native speakers to both lead and take part in fleets."

When asked about how the different cultures would coexist with their unique mannerisms and traditions, Kelduum had this to say, "The differing cultures are the reasons why we formed new corporations rather than have the new pilots within E-UNI itself. Differing languages are of course a major issue, but the core concepts of EVE University itself, cooperation, and sharing experience, is something that is common to most cultures."

Public relations, and publicity have been slow but steady according to Kelduum, however Eve University has a significant list of capsuleers standing by to assist the new pilots in their native languages.

For now, the community should keep an eye on the UniWiki and watch for announcements about content which is flagged for translation. If you, or someone you know is interested in helping out with EVE Akademie, EVE Institut or EVE Daigaku, then drop an EVEmail to Kelduum Revaan.
