The Center for International and Transnational Area Studies (CITAS) at the University of Regensburg was founded in 2017. It is an interfaculty scientific institution of the Faculty of Philosophy, Arts, History and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.
The goal of the center is to bundle synergies between university and non-university science research institutions in Regensburg and its surroundings. Further information can be found here.
The Department for Interdisciplinary and Multiscale Area Studies (DIMAS) is currently in development. At its core, it will contain six new professorships to strengthen research in this area. It will create a dynamic as well as flexible structure that will consolidate expertise in Regensburg at the participating faculties of the university in close cooperation with the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies and systematically develop this expertise further.
More information can be found here.
The research center bundles and promotes activities on "collectivity" and disseminates them through publications:
To name the activities in detail:

There are manifold and fundamental interrelations and interdependencies between language and law, far too many to be dealt with in isolation by law or linguistics alone. Rather, a multifaceted exchange between the different fields is necessary. Our working group, which includes members of several faculties of the University of Regensburg, is dedicated to this task.
Please visit our website for more information.
The NAMEN research group was established at the University of Regensburg in 1998 to study etymology, history, and use of proper names. Professors and research assistants from various faculties joined forces to pool their knowledge, to initiate joint projects and firmly to establish onomastics as an interdisciplinary field of research at the University of Regensburg. The NAMEN research group works closely with partners at other universities and scientific institutions in Germany and abroad; in this way, it actively shapes the international research discussion.

For the last four hundred years the English language has spread all over the globe and has developed a wide range of regional, social, and stylistic varieties. In the Postcolonial era it has become rooted and acquired new forms and functions, in contact with indigenous languages and cultures, in America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
In our research we investigate structural properties and uses of some of these "World Englishes", based on fieldwork, digital corpora, and sample texts, and we are interested in the theoretical modeling of the evolutionary processes that have shaped these new varieties. This includes the disciplines of sociolinguistics and the study of pidgins and creoles.
