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 Research 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, Prof. Ann Copestake and Prof. Ianthi Tsimpli, or the Research Development Manager, Jane Walsh.
Next meeting
Computational Language Typology, with guest Prof. Emily Bender (26 March). If you are interested in attending please contact Jane Walsh with a short description of your interest in typology (jaw75@cam.ac.uk).
For more information about the Forum, or to propose a topic, please also contact Jane or the IRC Directors.
