Cologne Center of Language Sciences (CCLS)

With upwards of 25 professorships, the Language Sciences constitute one of the major research and teaching areas in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and there exists both cross-disciplinary collaboration within the faculty as well as interfaculty cooperation with the Faculty of Human Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine. Pivotal to this collaboration is the Cologne Center of Language Sciences (CCLS), which

  • coordinates the joint activities of all language-related disciplines, facilitates research, communication and collaboration,
  • hosts the biannual conference LingCologne,
  • coordinates research-oriented teaching within the cross-disciplinary and cross-faculty MA program Linguistics and PhD programs and supports Early Career Researchers at all stages of qualification,
  • liaises with the university- and faculty-wide support infrastructure,
  • and provides general administrative and organizational support.

Please visit the Cologne Center of Language Sciences (CCLS) for up-to-date information on all language-related activities in Cologne.
