          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.

          A research programme that brings together the expertise of different area studies is particularly dependent on international partnerships, which are also reflected in the practice of the SFB and its members. Each individual project develops intensive cooperation with partners not only in the respective study region but also beyond. Important and particularly active centres in Europe are the Laboratory of Excellence “TransferS” in Paris and the Exeter Centre for Imperial and Global History.

The Collaborative Research Centre presents and further advances its activities and results to and with a wider academic public through a number of formats. The most important of these are the annual conferences, the weekly colloquium, individual workshops, panels at international conferences organized by members and/or related to the SFB’s activities, as well as research seminars specifically designed for the Integrated Research Training Group.

Colloquia
The weekly colloquium of the Collaborative Research Centre provides every semester a forum for presentations by external guests as well as by members of the SFB within a tailored thematic framework. Presentations are generally complemented by comments from members of the SFB, helping to create a common ground for discussion between guests, the Collaborative Research Centre, as well as the wider academic public.

Annual Conferences
Presenting the Collaborative Research Centre’s work to a wider international academic public, mobilizing external expertise and excellence, as well as strengthening internal connection within the SFB, every year one major conference is organized that addresses one specific dimension of the research programme.

Research Seminars & Summer/Winter Schools
Encouraging in-depth joint discussion between the scholars at the SFB, the research seminars and summer/winter schools provide space and opportunity to consider specific conceptual and methodological dimensions of the Collaborative Research Centre’s work. Research seminars commonly address PhD candidates in particular but are also prepared by thematic working groups or individual scholars of the SFB to provide an arena for intellectual exchange and problem-solving.

Lectures & Lecture Series
In addition to lectures lecture series held by the participating institutions of the SFB, the Collaborative Research Centre’s guest researchers present their work and findings during their research stays in specialized lectures.

Workshops & Conferences
In addition to the colloquium and the annual conferences, thematic workshops and conferences are organized by the projects as well as by the thematic working groups or individual members of the SFB.
