DFG Research Training Group 2477 "Aesthetic Practice" enters second funding period
The application for continuation of the Research Training Group "Aesthetic Practice" was successful! We are very pleased that we can continue our research for another four and a half years. The University of Hildesheim will thus once again receive funding totaling approximately four million euros, which will be used for the structured training and support of doctoral students in the fields of art and cultural studies, philosophy and sociology. The repeated success in the competition for financial resources is an important step for the university, with which it is further expanding its profile as a strong research university in the field of cultural studies and the arts (more information here).
In the fall of 2024, the announcements for the third doctoral cohort will be published (to be filled as of 01.04.2025).
