The “Geolingual Studies” team of the University Würzburg visited the DLR-EOC on 3 and 4 July 2025. Geolingual Studies is an innovative area of research and teaching which takes a decisively applied linguistic approach and combines methodologies from linguistics, geography, digital humanities and natural language processing (for more details, please see here: https://www.phil.uni-wuerzburg.de/gls ).
Here are some examples of the manifold interdisciplinary project results that have already emerged from the co-operation:

In the meeting, project progress was discussed and work with our cooperation partner LSE Cities, London School of Economics was driven forward. Alex Gomes from LSEcities also gave a presentation – we had reported on this: https://remote-sensing.org/guest-lecture-by-dr-alexandra-gomes-from-lse-cities-london-school-of-economics/
Furthermore, a field trip was organized in Munich to visit variable urban morphologies – from the newly built Werksviertel, to old and modern single-family housing areas as well as block developments in suburban areas of Berg am Laim and Ramersdorf as well as the large housing estates in Neuperlach.
