■ Cambridge Language Sciences Interdisciplinary Research Centre Cambridge Language Sciences Interdisciplinary Research Centre, located in Cambridge, UK, was newly established in July 2011 as the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI) of the University of Cambridge. It has been promoting joint research across the University going beyond the faculties. As this initiative sufficiently worked out, the Center was authorized as one of the eleven University of Cambridge’s Interdisciplinary Research Centres (IRC) and currently developing. Cambridge Language Sciences Interdisciplinary Research Centre is a cross-School institution without faculty, department, and major, playing its role of fostering researchers by laying out the associate researchers system and a framework for allowing postgraduates’ researchers. The Centre has approximately 250 researchers now and covers various research areas including humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, medicine, computer science, and engineering and technology. In order to deal with large-scale multidisciplinary research challenges relating to linguistic study, the Centre builds a network with world-leading research institutions intending to strengthen research collaborations and sharing information among research areas.
