Composition of Joint Unit of Research

This is the only PAIDI Group that focuses upon specialised English and delves into the oral and written communicative uses of the English language in academic and professional settings. Due to its interdisciplinary nature, this Group examines the terminology and discourse that are inherent to specific, and also dissimilar, fields such as the social sciences or engineering. Group members have published extensively and contributed to the dissemination of knowledge in the field with books, chapters, articles, R&D and international cooperation projects, edition and training experience, cooperation with knowledge societies or supervision of dissertations and PhD thesis.
