The research colloquium is aimed at all those who, in their academic work (qualification thesis, research project, publication project), are concerned with the perspective of the production of the social "from below". The focus of this perspective is the scientific engagement with strategies of reproduction, everyday actions or processes of use. The projects and research works can have social services, social infrastructure, the production of "the urban" or articulations and investigations "from below" as their subject.

The colloquia meetings are organized and carried out within the framework of the cooperation agreement between the Goethe University in Frankfurt, the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen and in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Mannheim. The meetings take place about six times a year, alternating between the different locations. Interested parties can contact Prof. Dr. Ellen Bareis by email.
