This initiative will run for three years (2016-2019); during this period, we will explore joint research projects and potential teaching links, including co-supervision of postgraduate students. The partnership involves both academic staff and students from our institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The cornerstone of our partnership are two annual delegation visits. Each delegation consists of 5-6 members of staff; there will be one Lancaster visit to Ghent every year and one Ghent visit to Lancaster. The host university will organize a symposium around each delegation visit and widely publicize the event. This means there will be six delegation visits (and symposia) in the 2016-2019 period. The first symposium takes place in Lancaster on March 23, 2017, with the second symposium taking place in Ghent in April 18-19, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, to the annual delegation visits and symposia, there will several individual visits by staff members, and we will maintain an active student exchange program between our Departments. Our Erasmus+ agreements cover two undergraduate and postgraduate students per academic year.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to get involved, please email me (p.rebuschat@lancaster.ac.uk) or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/lancaster-ghent\">our dedicated website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.lancs.ac.uk\/linguistics-abroad\/files\/2017\/03\/ghent-874.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"874\" height=\"289\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very pleased to announce that the Department of Linguistics and English Language has established a new partnership with the Department of Linguistics at Ghent University, and that I will be coordinating this exciting initiative.
