This project will open new research frontiers in cultural studies by exploring how 'race' is produced through the sonic, olfactory and spatial by mobilising a novel methodological approach. Space and the senses are seldom explicitly employed to understand how processes of racialisation and the concomitant struggle to belong operates; omitting these affective dimensions of boundary drawing limits how we can theorise and understand these phenomena. This exploratory project interdisciplinary combines geographical, urban, postcolonial and migration studies and methods to a.) spatialise key texts in the German critical 'race' and whiteness studies canon using interactive graphic maps that span local, national and international scales; and b.) experiment with sensory participatory walking methodologies in Berlin's Wedding district to highlight the role of the spatial, sonic and olfactory in 'race'-making processes. This will reveal innovative ways to approach and theorise racialisation, whiteness and multiculture in Germany.

Regions that depend economically on fossil fuel extraction or energy-intensive industries will be disproportionately affected by the decarbonization of industry and the economy. The CINTRAN project examines the complex patterns and dynamics of structural change in these carbon-intensive regions in Europe. It examines the pace of change and the regions' ability to cope with and proactively adapt through highly integrated, inter- and transdisciplinary research in close collaboration with regional stakeholders from four regions that are heavily dependent on fossil fuels: Western Macedonia (Greece), Silesia ( Poland), Ida-Virumaa (Estonia) and the Rheinische Revier (Germany). This knowledge will contribute to a more effective, fairer and more inclusive governance of regional change.

The CoalExit project focuses on the economy of the coal phase-out. The exit from coal presents various opportunities but also risks, which will be further analyzed throughout the project. The focus of the project is on the analysis of the changes for the energy system, the effects on the associated structural change and new political options for a socially acceptable coal phase-out in Germany but also globally.

Mit der Philipp Schwartz-Initiative erhalten Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen in Deutschland die Möglichkeit, gefährdete Forschende im Rahmen eines Fellowships aufzunehmen. ICES hat 2022 im Rahmen dieser Initiative Förderung für die Aufnahme einer ukrainischen Wissenschaftlerin erhalten. Der EUF wurden zudem Mittel zur Verfügung gestellt für den Aufbau von universitätsweiten Strukturen, die die Aufnahme von geflüchteten Forschenden stärken.

Das Forschungssemester beleuchtet die Chancen, Potentiale und Hemmnisse von Wasserstoffnutzung für die Schifffahrtsbranche - mit Fokus auf Schleswig-Holstein.

The Autumn School covered the political and historical processes of European integration that have most contributed to shaping the European Union as we know it today.

EuKiD erweitert den didaktischen Ansatz im Unterrichtsfach Deutsch von einer bisher nationalen um eine europäische Herangehensweise und beabsichtigt damit, hinsichtlich der Weiterentwicklung curricularer Vorgaben innovative Impulse zu setzen. Im Dialog mit Projektpartnern aus der Unterrichtspraxis, der fachdidaktischen Forschung und Institutionen der Bildungspolitik sollen europabezogene Kompetenzen formuliert, Lehrmaterialien entwickelt und Modellversuche in Primar- und Sekundarstufen von Regelschulen durchgeführt werden.
