History
In 2006, the Centre Applied Linguistics (CTL) became the first research institute of the Hasselt University to be active throughout the entire Associatie Universiteit Hasselt (UHasselt – PHL – XIOS)
CTL unites a large variety of competences, allowing cross-disciplinary cooperation: (socio) linguists specialised in Romance, Germanic, African and Classical languages, economists, experts in education, IT specialists…
Research projects are mainly carried out within the framework of an international cooperation between universities and business life. This complementarity ensures a solid multidisciplinary research. The focus lies on empirical research, mainly financed by Flemish, federal and European funds.
