Research Atelier - GENERAL INFORMATION

Autumn Semester 2023/24

Hosted by: Prof. Dr. Claudius Gräbner-Radkowitsch & Marlene Langholz-Kaiser

Organization 

The Research Atelier is one important element of the ICES Research School¹ and will take place  every other Thursday from 10:30-11:30 or 12:00 to 13:00 (see below). Those who are  attending in person are welcome to join us for lunch at the Mensa afterwards. Technically, the  meeting will take a hybrid form: we will meet in-person in RIGA 601, but also provide the  possibility to participate via Webex via the following link:

For organizational issues we will use the online platform Basecamp. In case you have not yet  received an invitation, please contact Claudius via email:   claudius.graebner-radkowitsch@uni-flensburg.de  A short tutorial in PDF form is provided in the documents section of Basecamp. A video  explanation will also be made available. 

Goal of the Research Atelier 

The Research Atelier is meant to serve as a platform where early-stage researchers get  constructive feedback on their work. This means that it is not required to present final and full- fledged papers. To the contrary, everyone is invited to present ongoing work and receive  feedback on open questions during the Atelier. Moreover, you are encouraged to circulate this  information alongside an invitation to join to all early-career researchers that you think might be  interested in participating. 

To allow for the possibility of feedback, you should aim to give a presentation of no more than 30  minutes, better 20. Also, keep in mind that we are an interdisciplinary group, and you might need  to explain disciplinary specificities and terms of your work. 

For dates where nobody wishes to present their work we can also schedule more general  discussions and inputs, e.g., on interdisciplinary research, publication strategies, or funding  opportunities. We will discuss details during our meetings or via Basecamp, where you are also  invited to submit suggestions on such ‘special sessions’. 

For each date, there will be a so called "message board" on Basecamp. Here, the presenters can share their material and already pose questions in advance (e.g., regarding aspects of the  work you are most interested in getting feedback on). All others can add comments also after the  presentations, and post literature suggestions, etc. This way, people who cannot attend the presentation can also communicate their comments. And of course, you are invited to submit  your feedback even if you do not have the possibility to present. I will explain how we will  organize this ‘friendly review’ process during our first meeting and via a video to be posted in  due course.
