Research at CIP: Exploring and facilitating the international and multilingual university

Since the late 1990’s, the University of Copenhagen has become increasingly internationalised, and today internationalisation is present in all areas of university life.

At CIP, we continuously develop and conduct research projects designed to explore how internationalisation affects the university as a Danish educational institution, as a research environment, as a multilingual workplace, and as a societal institution. Our projects consists of both primary and applied research, and often operates between the two.

We take a particular interest in identifying and addressing challenges and opportunities related to the linguistic and cultural diversity that has emerged as a result of internationalisation of a Danish university.

Current research projects

AI and the University (AI-UNI)

Explores how researchers and students use generative language technologies in their academic practices.

Fighting food waste - navigating values, choices and habits (in Danish)

Combines interdisciplinarity and practice oriented knowledge in the exploration of barriers and possibilities in the fight against food waste.

Towards a New Model of Communicative Competence (MCC)

Explores how communicative competence of multilingual students and lecturers is conceptualized and enacted.

English and globalisation in Denmark (ENIDA)

Explores the use of the English language in Denmark, e.g. frequency of use, attitudes toward it and the importance of English.

As an internationally recognized research centre, we collaborate with researchers across the world and publish in leading international journals and book series, reporting on basic as well as applied research.

We also produce research-informed educational materials, develop tests and engage in development projects with partners inside and outside the university.
