Masterlanguage is a collaboration between six Dutch universities, located in Groningen, Nijmegen, Utrecht, Leiden, Amsterdam and Tilburg. A nationwide programme such as Masterlanguage can only be successful through close collaboration between organisations and the sharing of knowledge between academic scholars. This page gives an overview of the organisational structure of the Masterlanguage programme: the participating institutions, the Organisational Board, the Programme Board, and the Disciplinary Teams.
