The IULA (Institute for Applied Linguistics, Specific research center of Universitat Pompeu Fabra) is a research and graduate training center that gets together various groups of researchers, research assistants, and scholarship students. The Institute is involved in several institutions, and national and international academic and professional networks. At the same time, it organizes many research seminars and promotes scientific activities periodically. It welcomes visiting professors from Spanish and foreign universities and it also offers reseach internships for postdoctoral fellows in the framework of our research projects.

IULA's main research lines are lexicon, variation and technological applications.
