The main objective of the project is to significantly reduce the time required to achieve the target goal of the regional climate neutrality strategy by providing the prerequisites for: 1. Establishment and subsequent consolidation of a governance system for achieving climate neutrality at regional and local level . 2. Achieving social acceptance and active participation of the society of East Wielkopolska in the economic and social transformation towards a zero-emission economy. 3. Mobilizing additional external funds for the implementation of the climate neutrality strategy. 4. Supporting the implementation of the climate neutrality strategy with a focus on the transformation process of the utilities sector, transport and small and medium-sized enterprises. 5. Standardization of solutions and their transfer and imitation in other EU regions (including direct transfer and transfer during project lifetime to Łódzkie region and 2 coal regions in Bulgaria). The consortium consists of groups of stakeholders (total about 50 project partners involved) of which Polish municipalities make up the majority.

The scales of the swHSQ (short work-related Humor Styles Questionnaire; Scheel et al., 2016) are based on the four humor styles and the HSQ of Martin et al. (2003). The two so-called positive humor styles encompass the affiliative and the self-enhancing styles, and the so-called negative styles are the aggressive and the self-defeating one. The styles are beneficially resp. maladaptively related to for well-being, social relationships and work attitudes. Goal of the project is the validation of this short scale for diverse languages.

We are delighted to announce that the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1665 "Sexdiversity - Determinants, meanings and implications of sex diversity in sociocultural, medical and biological landscapes" has been approved. It is led by the University of Lübeck (Spokesperson: Professor Dr Olaf Hiort) with the participation of Prof. Dr. Anna Katharina Mangold (EUF, Department of European Law). The CRC is initially funded for four years with almost twelve million euros. 27 researchers from the fields of medicine, biology and genetics, the humanities and social sciences will work on 17 projects to investigate the effects of biological sex - from medical issues to its socio-cultural significance in social contexts. Prof. Dr. Mangold heads the sub-project "Normative implications of human rights of persons with DSD in a non-binary legal world" together with Prof. Dr. Christoph Rehmann-Sutter (Uni Lübeck).

Das Projekt untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Steuererhebung und Herrschaft in den deutschen Kolonien. Dabei wird mit der Fiskalpolitik ein bislang vernachlässigter Bereich in den Blick genommen, der zu den konfliktträchtigsten Feldern kolonialer Herrschaft gehörte. Jede Form der Steuerverweigerung stellte aus Sicht der Kolonialherren die eigene Herrschaft grundsätzlich infrage und wurde daher zum Teil mit äußerster Brutalität unterbunden. Gleichzeitig wussten die Kolonisierenden um die Grenzen ihrer Durchsetzungskraft. Vielerorts wurden Steuern daher zunächst nur in den Gebieten eingeführt, in denen die koloniale Herrschaft bereits fest etabliert war, um dann sukzessive ausgedehnt zu werden. Die Untersuchung der Steuererhebung erlaubt daher sowohl neue Einblicke in die schrittweise Ausdehnung kolonialer Herrschaft als auch in die Formen des Widerstands und der Selbstbehauptung der in den Kolonien lebenden Menschen. Um die Frage nach den Besonderheiten der deutschen Kolonialherrschaft zu erhellen, wird das Projekt zudem in vergleichender Perspektive die Fiskalpolitik in ausgewählten britischen Kolonien untersuchen.

The project aims to answer the questions of how democratic values are negotiated in the face of digitalization and discursive conflict, and what influence social media as well as national and transnational contexts have in this process.

There is no doubt that educational institutions do play a particular role in child protection, especially in terms of sexual abuse. Nevertheless, schools are still to exploit their full potential. There is a measured lack of safety when dealing with a suspected case. In order to support schools in becoming a safe space for children, qualified stuff is decisive. Educators need to be able to have a conversation with a child in a suspected case. Moreover, they need to be able to organize appropriate help quickly. The research project’s aim is to develop and evaluate a curriculum for an additional qualification to the teacher training.

This project, carried out by a team of German and Polish researchers, examines how the policies of the European green transition may affect regions and member states, and whether heterogeneous impacts carry the risk of fueling socio-economic polarization within the EU. Based on the results, the project will draw implications for the "strong policy response at all levels" sought by the European Commission.

A specific feature of the project is its multi-level approach: at the macro level, the research team will rely mainly on macroeconometrics and input-output modeling; at the meso level, it will study patents and knowledge networks using quantitative tools from machine learning and network theory; and at the micro level, it will conduct interviews, most likely in Konin and Lusatia.

Legal gender categories have long reverted to the binary “male” and “female” in countries worldwide. Since 2019, a third civil status – ‘divers’ – has existed in Germany (§ 22 section 3 PStG).

The German-Danish cooperation project “Hope & Despair” will bring seven World War II museums, memorial sites and tourist agencies as well as three universities together to align communication and attract national and international visitors. The EUF team of researchers will contribute to thematic “experience packages” by tying the stories of seven geographically close museums. The project will begin in May 2023 and will run for three years. It is supported by Interreg 6A Deutschland-Danmark with a total of around 2 Mio Euros.

Das Projekt untersucht die Frage, welche Rolle Zulassungsverfahren für die Entstehung sozialer Ungleichheit bei Hochschulzugang und Studiengangwahl spielen. Dabei geht es innovative Wege bei der theoretischen Einbindung, empirischen Messung und statistischen Analyse von Zulassungsverfahren und deren Rolle bei der Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheit in Deutschland und im internationalen Vergleich.
