现代语言研究所（IMLR）支持，促进和推动研究现代语言（主要是法语，德语，意大利语，西班牙语和葡萄牙语）。它使研究人员能够在广泛的国家和国际网络和活动中进行合作，参与创新研究并向更广泛的公众展示研究价值。
IMLR 为研究人员提供了独特的机会来开发项目，这些项目显示出设置开创性研究议程的真正潜力。为此，研究所及其七个 研究中心运营并为国家和国际合作、跨学科和跨文化研究研讨会、讲座、讲习班、座谈会和会议做出贡献。它还主持一个蓬勃发展的出版物系列、区域会议计划和研究金计划。
除了在国内和国际上支持个人、网络和组织之外，IMLR 还领导着激发创新思维的辩论。它积极开发研究服务和资源，并提供研究学位和博士培训。它旨在确保现代语言研究的社会、文化和经济利益得到广泛认可。

The Institute for Modern Languages, formerly known as the Germanic Institute (IGRS), was founded in 1950. IMLR is one of eight schools within the School of Advanced Study, University of London.
The Institute for Modern Languages (IMLR) supports, promotes and promotes the study of modern languages (mainly French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese). It enables researchers to collaborate in a wide range of national and international networks and activities, participate in innovative research and demonstrate research value to the wider public.
IMLR provides researchers with unique opportunities to develop projects that show real potential for setting a groundbreaking research agenda. To this end, the Institute and its seven research centres operate and contribute to national and international collaborations, interdisciplinary and cross-cultural research seminars, lectures, workshops, symposia and conferences. It also hosts a thriving publication series, regional conference programme and fellowship programme.
In addition to supporting individuals, networks and organizations nationally and internationally, IMLR leads debates that stimulate innovative thinking. It actively develops research services and resources and offers research degrees and doctoral training. It aims to ensure that the social, cultural and economic benefits of modern language research are widely recognised.
IMLR publishes the Journal of Romantic Studies. Its outstanding collections of Germanic studies treatises are located in both houses (4 floors) with holdings primarily devoted to German-language literature from its inception to the present, including a substantial collection of books, journals, microfiche, papers and archives.
