MIRCo - UAM
Interdisciplinary Research Center on Multilingualism, Discourse, and Communication

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.
