Research under changed conditions?

This Thursday and Friday, 14-15 November, the GWTF, the Gesellschaft für Wissenschafts- und Technikforschung, is hosting her yearly meeting in my old hometown of Dortmund in the Ruhr Area in the western parts of Germany. The overarching topic will be about how we can conduct research in a changed environment. Here the precarity of many academic careers in our field will be discussed, as well as ways to recent political controversies which influenced the research community. Curious about their take on it, I will join this event and see who I will be able to connect to.

In the meantime, I am searching for my next position. While there were a few interesting talks with colleagues about a possible cooperation, nothing substantial came out of my search until now. So maybe I will be able to pick up some ideas at the GWTF, let’s see!
