Call for application - CENTRAL-Kollegs

CENTRAL-Kollegs are a format for research-based learning aimed at junior researchers (doctoral candidates or post-docs) at all partner universities of the CENTRAL-Network (University of Warsaw, University of Vienna, Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Charles University, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) who will develop and carry out an independent research project with students.

In CENTRAL-Kollegs, student research teams, under the guidance of junior researchers, develop a research project in a subject of their choosing, which they will then carry out independently over a period of several months. The CENTRAL-Kollegs run between June 2017 and December 2017. They include two workshops (initial and final presentations; 3 days each), both held at Humboldt-Universität, as well as virtual (web-based) and personal exchange between all those involved during the period between the above mentioned workshops.

In 2017 CENTRAL-Network offers four CENTRAL-Kollegs with different frameworks:

  • three CENTRAL-Kollegs in Berlin (Humboldt-Universität) open to all areas of research

  • one CENTRAL-Kolleg in Prague (Charles University) on the subject of “migration”
