Midterm Conference: New Avenues of Global Cooperation
15-16 November 2021
At the mid-point of the second funding phase of the programme, funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research, the conference had three main goals: To recapitulate findings from the past three years, to reflect on modes of collaborating, and to identify new avenues for interdisciplinary research on global cooperation. It took place at a moment of great challenges for global cooperation, and as we adapt our modes of collaboration to the shifting developments of a global pandemic. This conference opened up an opportunity to meet, both in person and virtually, with fellows, alumni, and (future) cooperation partners.
The conference took the form of roundtables and panel discussions. Some panels were dedicated to the centre’s thematic research foci, including polycentrism, (anti-)globalism, as well as the role of imagination, reflexivity and interdisciplinarity in global cooperation (research). Four panels reflected the centre’s empirical foci on the policy fields of migration, climate, peace building and internet governance.
