The F|E|F deals with (applied) linguistics and social research. It is a registered profit body born to give unitary coordination to the several experiences of research in the fields of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, language planning, geolinguistics and GIS, historical-comparative linguistics, terminology, permanent language education, psycholinguistics, dialectology, lexicography and computational linguistics that its members have been conducting since 1995 under the name of Centre d’Études Linguistiques pour l’Europe. F|E|F ‘s activities are mainly directed towards linguistic, geographic and social research, carried out towards the implementation of theoretical database systems and the organisation of linguistic investigations in multilingual territories. These are carried out with particular attention to the social and ideological contexts in which they take place and are often aimed at developing useful strategies for identifying effective promotion or fair linguistic planning policies, with an eye to the educational developments. The comparison between the different present and ancient European linguistic and cultural multifaceted realities is the core of F|E|F’s methodology. 

F|E|F’s scientific competence in historical linguistics, geo-linguistics and, in particular, in GIS (Geographical Information System) are a relevant points of its approach to the linguistic landscape of many regions of the world: Particularly noteworthy are the geo-linguistic treatments of large scale European sociolinguistic surveys, the cartography treatment of South American minority languages, and the vast experiences with linguistic and sociolinguistic atlases in Europe.

The activities of the F|E|F, while maintaining a rigorous scientific character and a heuristic methodology in discovering real political, social and psychological situations, are aimed at the social and political strengthening of the ideas of equality, social rights, cultural and linguistic rights, minority rights, multilingualism, multi-ethnicity, sustainable development. The Centre has permanent staff and it can hire specialised personal for specific projects. Since 2019 it offers internships to students of language and linguistics.
