Research

The GELC offers researchers in the area of language and communication disorders a platform to exchange knowledge and to find expertise on (research on) language and communication disorders and on specific populations. The GELC can facilitate by making clinical methods available to diverse patient populations and by gathering populations for research. Furthermore, this platform can offer help and guidance to beginning researchers, for example with the preparation of proposals for the Medical Ethical Committee (METc) and the writing of research proposals. The GELC will also submit its own research proposals for fundamentea and clinical patient-related research.
