At MIRCo, we are committed to open and citizen science, integrating specialists from diverse disciplines and promoting an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to researching multilingualism, discourse, and communication in a constantly changing world.
We seek not only to analyze these changes but also to intervene in them, fostering citizen participation in knowledge production and collaborating with institutions and social organizations to promote more inclusive and equitable practices.

An MSCA Staff Exchanges project coordinated by MIRCo-UAM, ReDes_Ling is a network of universities and different social actors that will work from 2024 to 2027 on an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral approach to linguistic inequality and will propose actions to combat its harmful effects on society, focusing in particular on education, work, and health.
The FARO project is conceived under the CIVIS network, and has the participation of UAM, the Bucharest Unibersity, the Rome-La Sapienza University and the Aix-Marseille University. It consists of creating spaces where the University can give back to society those findings consistent with cultural diversity and the intercultural dialogue among groups. From MIRCo, we'll be working to collect the diversity within the linguistic patrimony and how it is displayed in the public space.
The MiRCo-UAM Interdisciplinary Center seeks to research multilingualism, discourse, and communication in the current context. We promote exchanges with experts from diverse fields to enrich academic practice, and we work together with speakers and social groups to boost the impact of our work in different spheres of society.
