New research training group at University of Tübingen
DFG approves PhD network in Geoscience and extends two existing research training groups
In a series of funding decisions last week, the German Research Foundation (DFG) approved a new research training group, Shaping Transitions Throughout Life, in the field of Education. The DFG also voted to extend funding for the microbiology and infection medicine research training group, Molecular Principles of Bacterial Survival Strategies (GRK 1708), and Integrated Hydrosystem Modelling (GRK 1829) in applied geoscience.
Shaping Transitions Throughout Life will be run jointly by Professor Barbara Stauber of the University of Tübingen Institute of Education and Professor Andreas Walter of the Goethe University Frankfurt. The group involves researchers from areas of general and adult education, psychology and social pedagogy. The research training group will investigate how people manage transitions over the course of their lives - changes such as entering school, starting work or a family, starting a new partnership or entering care for the aged. The focus will be on the interplay of social discourse, the institutional regulation of such transitions, the way they are dealt with from the education perspective, and the individual’s processes of managing and learning from them.
