The Akademi Kernewek has several areas of interest including: improving Cornish–English dictionary entries, new terminology, signage and place-names, and linguistic research. A biennial conference, Skians, invites researchers to discuss their findings (both linguistic and socio-linguistic) related to the Cornish language. The online dictionary, "App Gerlyver", is available to download on Android and iOS. A database of Cornish place names, hosted on the Akademi website, contains research on etymology and historic spellings.
