The research colloquium is aimed at anyone whose academic work (qualification thesis, research project, publication project) deals with the perspective of the production of the social "from below". The focus of this perspective is the academic study of reproduction strategies, everyday actions or utilization processes. The projects and research work can focus on social services, social infrastructure, the production of "the urban" or articulations and investigations "from below".

The colloquium meetings are organized and held as part of the cooperation agreement between Goethe University in Frankfurt, Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society and Mannheim University of Applied Sciences. The meetings take place around six times a year, alternating between the different locations. Interested parties can contact Prof. Dr. Marion Ott by email.
