We are delighted to offer two PhD scholarships linked to these two important topics:

1. Intercultural research on diversity in professional contexts

2. Linguistic Bias in Large Language Model Artificial Intelligence

University of Warwick will lead a new research project, in a collaboration between nine universities in nine countries to explore language policy across Europe.

Professor Angela Creese will lead the research project, Strategies to strengthen European linguistic capital in a globalised world (MultiLX), funded through Horizon Europe.

Increased mobility of people has altered the linguistic make-up of Europe, while rapid developments in AI and other digital technology have revolutionised the way people communicate. There is an urgent need for language policy to keep pace with these changes. This research project addresses that need by investigating the diversity of linguistic practices in Europe and making recommendations to language policy-makers.
