ENEIDA RESEARCH GROUP
The ENEIDA Research Group was an interuniversity research group based at the Universidad de León (ULE) in León, Spain. Established in 2010 under the direction of Ana I. Moreno, it formalised the interdisciplinary research collaborations among members of the ENEIDA Team (I), a multidisciplinary team of twelve researchers, both national and international, brought together to carry out the first stage of the ENEIDA project. This group consolidated at the Universidad de León as a stable interuniversity research team consisting of four core members and a large number of collaborators, including both external consultants and researchers.
In 2017, new regulations at the ULE required interuniversity groups to have more than one researcher from the host university, leading to the group's dissolution. Currently, Ana I. Moreno is a member of the ACTRES research group (English-Spanish Contrastive Analysis and Translation) at ULE, where she continues to develop the ENEIDA Project.

Ana I. Moreno, currently a Professor of English Studies at the Universidad de León (ULE) in Spain, specialises in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), discourse analysis, pragmatics, grammar and research methods in the field of English-Spanish cross-cultural studies. After three years (2006-2009) as a research scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, she returned to her Senior Lecturer position in the Departamento de Filología Moderna at ULE. Here, she served as the Director of the interuniversity research group Spanish Team for Intercultural Studies on Academic Discourse (ENEIDA) (2010-2017) and was the Principal Investigator of the research project titled “Rhetorical Strategies to Publish in International Scientific Journals from a Spanish-English Intercultural Perspective (I)” (2010-2014). This project received considerable funding from the former Ministry of Science and Innovation, which allowed the team to achieve outstanding results and share them widely both nationally and internationally.
Her current research interests include needs analysis in EAP contexts, academic writing difficulties, intercultural rhetoric, academic criticism, and genre analysis. Her publications have appeared in journals such as TEXT, English for Specific Purposes, International Journal of English Studies, The Journal of English for Academic Purposes, Ibérica and TEXTandTALK. Her cross-cultural research has significant implications for those involved in teaching academic and professional communication or working with academic L2/L1 English and Spanish texts.
