Factors for Successful Communication

The Inter-CRC-Meeting for 2025, along with a special Early Career Researcher Workshop, is held on 26th to 27th of November at ZiF, Bielefeld University, highlighting "Factors of Successful Communication". This networking event brings together linguistic CRCs from Berlin, Bielefeld, Frankfurt, Cologne, Potsdam, Saarbrücken, and Tübingen.

The workshop will be held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (short: ZiF = Zentrum für interdisziplinäre Forschung), close to Bielefeld University’s main campus (campus map) and right next to the Teutoburg Forest. You can find detailed travel information for the ZiF below.

Approaches to citizen science in linguistics
The Ö-project will present their newly launched citizen science webplatform "Sprachschmiede": a central hub for researchers of the CRC and cooperation partners to host and manage digitial citizen linguistics projects. Afterwards, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities of conducting participatory research in the linguistic fields. Members of non-central projects are invited to join in to share their thoughts and experiences and participate in the discussion.
INF projects meet on individual arrangement. If you have any questions, please contact Maryam Mohammadi.
