The Language Sciences Research Strategy Forum is a flexible mechanism for exploring shared research agendas and scoping opportunities for interdisciplinary research.
Research Strategy Forum meetings explore potential research collaboration across disciplines and groups, and act as a driver for new research. Cambridge Language Sciences will facilitate round-table meetings, limited to around 20 participants. The Language Sciences Incubator Fund provides a potential source of funding for exploratory research as a follow-on from these meetings.
Any research group leader with a profile in the Language Sciences Research Directory may propose a topic. To propose a topic for a future meeting please contact the Language Sciences Directors, or the Research Development Manager, Jane Walsh (contact@languagesciences.cam.ac.uk).
