Order EMC/15/2016, of 18 January, to discontinue several of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra’s own research institutes, was published in the GOGC last 8 February.

With this move, a IULA chapter ended and another began: the IULA continued its activity as a Specific Research Centre (CER) of the UPF. From then now our name changed to IULA. Institute of Applied Linguistics. Specific research centre of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

We would like to summarize the most rellevant contents of IULA's history, from 1994 since 2016.
