Workshops

The workshops are organized by thematic research groups composed of principal investigators, postdoctoral fellows and doctoral students from different locations.

The workshops seek to conceptually delimit the three axes of the project (cultures of wealth, political constellations, landscape transformations) and to methodologically strengthen the doctoral research.

The thematic groups organize the workshops periodically online.
