We are delighted to invite you to the launch of the Centre for Applied Linguistics and Multilingualism (CALM), a new research cluster based in the Moore Institute. CALM will provide a platform for interdisciplinary research in the areas of applied linguistics and multilingualism and will increase awareness of issues related to language learning, language processing and multilingualism within NUI Galway and the wider community.

CALM will be launched by the President Prof. Ciarán Ó hÓgartaigh at 5pm on Thursday 6^th February in seminar room G011 in the Moore Institute.
