The Center for Language and Cognition Groningen is a research institute within the Faculty of Arts of the University of Groningen. It is the institutional home for all the linguistic research carried out within the faculty.

CLCG is also affiliated with various research schools.  These are are Dutch organizations which seek to coordinate scientific activity on a supra-faculty or even national, level. 

Part of the members of CLCG participate in the Groningen research school Behavioral and Cognitive Neurosciences (BCN), where research in the area of behaviour and cognition is brought together. In total, researcher from five faculties of the University of Groningen take part in this school. From the Faculty of Arts, a selected group of CLCG-members participates in BCN.

Another group of CLCG researchers participates in the national research school for linguistics LOT (Landelijke Onderzoekschool Taalkunde). The participation in LOT has only recently been approved by the university's governing board.  In addition, every graduate student is affiliated with a research school, which offers intensive advanced courses to the graduate students.
