          Spatialization is a central dimension of social actions. Spaces are being made by people. The Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1199: “Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition” addresses what characterizes these spaces, how they relate to one another, and whether resulting spatial orders are becoming increasingly complex within the context of globalization processes.

          The Integrated Research Training Group (IGK) trains junior scholars in the SFB. It is seamlessly connected to the already existing doctoral training programme in the Research Academy at the University of Leipzig. The IGK thus brings together the independent research activities of the doctoral candidates with the training modules of the SFB and the Leipzig Graduate School Global and Area Studies. Together with the Graduate School, the IGK organizes research seminars, summer and winter schools, as well as thorough method training and progress reviews.

        • Thematic Working Groups

          To foster internal discussions and debates as well as general work on a common theoretical and conceptual framework within the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1199, 14 thematic working groups have been established that will address different dimensions of the SFB's research programme. This structure reacts to the disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological differences within the interdisciplinary composition of the SFB. Helping to establish bridges across the projects and the disciplines involved, the thematic working groups will promote the creation of a common intellectual work on theory and concepts.
