A new, exciting semester begins for the Research Training Group: this year, we can once again look forward to exciting events, colloquia and further insights into the research of consequences of social services work. This semester, we will be welcoming Birte Klingler and Stefanie Albus, Kevin Stützel and Alexander Britz as guest speakers on various research-relevant topics. Of course, our fellows will also be organizing colloquia on their research topics. We are looking forward to another instructive semester.
