AIFRS teaching and research is carried out in collaboration between various Arqus universities. One of the main objectives is to give impulse to novel initiatives and integrate already existing or planned activities, events, and projects at the Arqus universities within the AIFRS on a larger scale.
The AIFRS is multilingual (Romance languages) and therefore in all its activities strongly engages in the Arqus action line “Multilingualism”, as well as in the action lines “Research”, “Quality Teaching”, and “Engaged Cititzens”. The AIFRS supports scientific plurality and multi-directional approaches. Concerning the content of the activities the integration of more than one Romance language, whenever possible, is therefore actively endorsed, since the AIFRS’ focus is Pan-Romance, i.e., contrastive (linguistics) and comparative (literature/culture).
