DAAD Graduate Workshop for Young Researchers in German and European Studies
6 December 2018, Berlin

On the occasion of the conference of DAAD-funded Centres for German and European Studies 2018, we invite advanced Master and PhD students affiliated with the centres, and working on projects in the fields of contemporary German and European studies to participate in our graduate workshop for young researchers. The first graduate workshop on December 6, 2018 will provide a forum for presenting ongoing research on present and future challenges for Germany and other European societies. The financial crisis in 2007/2008 the so-called refugee crisis in 2015, the Brexit votes as well as the rise of right-wing and populist parties in many countries and their success in recent elections; these and other political, economic and social challenges urge us to review the continent’s past and present and think about future strategies and visions.
