Special Interest Groups

At the heart of the conference are the Special Interest Groups—collaborative working groups aimed at scientifically exploring a more or less well-defined research area. These groups may be initiated with project outlines, research questions, or well-founded ideas. During the conference, the Special Interest Groups will develop specific research projects, planned publications, or potential grant applications. You have the opportunity to either submit a new Special Interest Group before the conference or join an existing one at the start of the conference.

Submit a Special Interest Group

If you have a research project, question, or idea in mind and would like to have researchers to join, you may organize and submit your own Special Interest Group. 

In order to organize your own Special Interest Group, you should prepare some kind of a (more or less) detailed pitch and make contact to international and appropriate colleagues. In order to submit your own Special Interest Group, please send an informal mail to Regina Ockenfels (ockenfels@uni-wuppertal.de) with the SIGs topic as well as the SIGs participants.

Additionally, participants of the conference may join spontaneausly your Special Interest Group.
