SUMMARY:EPICradles. Online info session
DESCRIPTION:Online Info Session on the EPICUR Pathway to Research10-11 am (CEST) Zoom. https://forms.office.com/r/4mMMQDfJJY \n\n\n\nDid you attend one of our EPICamps and are now wondering how the “EPICUR Pathway to Research” continues? If yes\, come join us for this info session! \n\n\n\nThis informational session aims to explain the “EPICUR Pathway to Research” to interested early career researchers (ECRs)\, including late-stage PhD Candidates and PostDocs. EPICradles\, building on the EPICamps\, are the second step of our EPICUR Pathway to Research and give ECRs the opportunity to strengthen their research collaboration\, develop skills and tools for inter- and transdisciplinary research\, and engage with experts in the field. It will allow ECRs to create potential research projects with the benefits of both funding and institutional support provided through EPICUR. \n\n\n\nHard facts: EPICradles will take place over the course of three months (2nd/3rd quarter of 2022) and two groups of up to 5 researchers are chosen to work (both physically and virtually) on topics relating to the EPIChallenges (sustainability\, mobility\, migration & identity\, and the transition of public health). As such\, EPICradles are an opportunity to prepare a joint research proposal for the last step of the “EPICUR Pathway to Research”\, the EPIClusters\, offering up to 150.000 € to chosen research groups of ECRs. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to join us\, please sign up for our info session here: https://forms.office.com/r/4mMMQDfJJY

SUMMARY:2nd EPICamp "Sustainability\, material use and climate justice"
DESCRIPTION:In order to tackle the climate crisis and to enable a sustainability transformation\, we need to recognize planetary boundaries and adapt our demand accordingly while considering intra- and intergenerational justice. A sustainability transition is required\, away from fossil fuel use towards a circular bioeconomy\, where limited resources such as land and raw materials are used carefully and in a way that intra- and intergenerational justice at multiple social and spatial scales is assured. The resulting societies\, and their production and consumption patterns\, are envisioned to rest on renewable resources (biomass\, wind\, solar\, hydro\, etc.) and on non-renewables (like metals or sand) that are used only in a circular manner and within planetary boundaries. But this transition entails changed resource requirements potentially resulting in new sustainability concerns regarding the expected additional pressure on land ecosystems (for biomass production as well as surface area for conservation or infrastructure etc.) which are already in competition with provisioning for agricultural\, forestry\, infrastructural\, and settlement needs\, as well as competing with challenges of biodiversity conservation and human well-being more broadly. \nQuestions arise not only about how such a transition can be achieved\, but also which justice implications are entailed to different societal groups. \nTraditionally\, large scale transformation scenario modelling has paid little attention to equity and justice questions at the national and\, in particular\, the sub-national scale. Here\, strong commitments to rapidly curb greenhouse gas emissions by transitioning to a decarbonized economy meet with local efforts to address the impacts of climate change. Consequently\, climate action needs to be tackled in accordance with resource use (energy\, materials\, land) and socio-economic drivers accounting for regionally and internationally specific justice concerns. \n \n \n \n\n\n\nGet access to the programme\n\n\n\nList of keywords and sub-themes:\n \n\nSocial metabolism as key to understand the material and energy underpinnings of sustainability\nLand-use changes within planetary boundaries that support a bioeconomy\nClimate change and climate justice: inter- and intragenerational perspectives\nMaterial wealth\, services\, sufficiency\, and equity\nEcosystem impact of human activities incl. climate change\nEnergy and sustainability transitions\nTrade and teleconnections in the course of sustainability transformations\nSustainable agriculture and forestry\, incl. agroforestry\nAfforestation and Reforestation of marginal lands\nThe role of agriculture and forestry combating climate change \nSupporting biodiversity conservation and ‘non-material’ human well-being in context of conflicting demands on land\n\n \nEarly career researchers\n \nPotential participants of the EPICamps should have a general interest in conducting interdisciplinary research and/or working in a transdisciplinary manner with non-university partners. You should have a proven interest in the topic of the EPICamps you wish to attend. However\, no previous experience in the field and/or inter-and transdisciplinary work is required.  \n \nBased on the format of the barcamp/unconference\, the program of each EPICamp will look different and open up opportunities to present and discuss research and projects in mini-thesis presentations\, poster sessions\, panel or group discussions\, etc.\, but also space for ad-hoc meetings\, one-on-one video chats\, academic speed dating sessions and methodological exchange.  \n \nCall\n \nPlease check out our Call for Participation and follow us on twitter for regular updates on upcoming EPICamps regarding European Culture\, Sustainability and more.  Applications are due November 15. \n \nIf you have any questions\, please contact: epicur-research@mail.uni-freiburg.de

SUMMARY:EPICUR-RESEARCH // First EPICamp in October 2021: “Mobility\, Migration\, Multilingualism”
DESCRIPTION:The EPICUR team is pleased to be able to organise three EPICamps this year in the context of EPICUR Research; the first of them “Mobility\, Migration\, Multilingualism: Shaping European Identities and Languages Past and Present” organised by Freiburg/Poznán/Strasbourg will take place on October 15/16\, 2021. EPICamps are virtual\, interactive events aimed at Early Career Researchers from the EPICUR alliance in order to create a space for exchange\, collaboration and academic matchmaking between scholars from different disciplines and research areas. Researchers from all – especially early – career stages\, from all disciplines and from all partner institutions can participate.   \n\n\n\nPotential participants of the EPICamps should have a general interest in conducting interdisciplinary research and/or working in a transdisciplinary manner with non-university partners. You should have a proven interest in the topic of the EPICamps you wish to attend. However\, no previous experience in the field and/or inter-and transdisciplinary work is required.   \n\n\n\nBased on the format of the barcamp/unconference\, the program of each EPICamp will look different and open up opportunities to present and discuss research and projects in mini-thesis presentations\, poster sessions\, panel or group discussions\, etc.\, but also space for ad-hoc meetings\, one-on-one video chats\, academic speed dating sessions and methodological exchange. Please check out our first Call for Participation [insert link] and follow us on twitter for regular updates on upcoming EPICamps regarding European Culture\, Sustainability and more.   \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact: epicur-research@mail.uni-freiburg.de   \n\n\n\nMobility\, Migration\, Multilingualism: \n\n\n\nShaping European Identities and Languages Past and Present \n\n\n\nEPICUR’s first EPICamp will take place 15/16 October 2021 fully online. The EPICamp will be an immersive experience bringing together researchers\, non-university partners and from our eight partner universities and beyond. \n\n\n\nMobility\, migration\, and multilingualism have shaped and challenged European society(ies) for centuries; from the middle ages to contemporary times\, movements of diverse population groups have changed the production and communication of knowledge and impacted linguistic\, social\, cultural as well as economic and political systems. The first EPICamp of 2021 will take place under the umbrella of the EPIChallenge “Mobility\, Migration\, Identity”\, bringing together scholars from a broad spectrum of disciplines and fields so as to invite multiple perspectives on these topics. \n\n\n\nFrom the impact of exploration and expansion by early elites to the many forms of voluntary as well as forced migration throughout the past centuries\, Europe’s peoples have shaped and been shaped by the interactions with global forces as much as by inner-European movements. Many issues that affect our European Society(ies) today mirror developments which have recurred throughout Europe’s long and complex history\, creating linguistic and socio-cultural (e.g. ethnic\, religious) plurality. This in turn engendered manifold forms of governing institutions and economic systems to address and steer such plurality. Trends and attitudes towards migration\, mobility\, and multilingualism observed today can be traced back to the past that in turn foreshadowed the present. Encouraging a broad dialectical dialogue identifying new interdisciplinary research\, scholars hailing from medieval studies to modern linguistic research and current social studies are invited to explore intersections of past and present. \n\n\n\nThe EPICamp will offer thematic subsections within the broad range of topics and disciplines\, including (but not limited to) medieval studies\, linguistics\, history\, sociology\, cultural studies\, philosophy and law:  \n\n\n\nSubsection: Movement\, Diversity\, Language  Subsection: Knowledge in Motion Subsection: Migration\, Language\, Identity  Subsection: Language Acquisition and Development Subsection: Migration\, Multilingualism\, Educational Systems Subsection: Multilingualism\, Emotions\, Identity \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please consult our website on EPICamps or the Call for Participation. \n\n\n\nApplications are due September 15. Registration is open until October 5\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Pros and cons of distance learning. An interdisciplinary perspective.
DESCRIPTION:The last year and a half of struggling with the coronavirus made it necessary for the education sector to transfer didactic work to virtual reality and to alter existing learning methods. After a few semesters\, a need has emerged to summarise what has been done so far and what are the results.  \n\n\n\nThat was the motivation behind organising the International Student Conference „Pros and cons of distance learning. An interdisciplinary perspective.” \n\n\n\n The conference was established to create space for an interdisciplinary discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning\, its results and perspectives for the future. \n\n\n\n Held entirely in English on 22nd and 23rd of June 2021\, it will be a part of EPICUR Project.  \n\n\n\nAuthors are looking for various perspectives on distance learning from many countries and fields of study. The event will be held entirely remotely. Details of access will be published shortly before the conference on the FB page of the event.

SUMMARY:EPICURtalks. N°3
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n\n \nDuring this third EPICURtalk Stéphanie Nolot talked about the HackeTaFac – a student innovation competition at the University of Strasbourg.\nHere you can watch the video of her EPICURtalk: \n \n https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK66keSTEBsThe HackeTaFac project\, a competition of the University of Strasbourg to create tomorrow’s digital tools for student success. A contest where students take their future into their own hands!  The principle? Be creative\, alone or in a team\, to imagine solutions with a digital component that renovate\, improve\, simplify\, transform\, invent… tools or services in favor of student success.  Stéphanie Nolot\, from the University of Strasbourg’s Institute for Pedagogical Development and Innovation\, will be our speaker and accepted to answer some questions about the project and its interest for EPICUR.   \n \n \n \n1. What is the Hacketafac project all about? HackeTaFac is a competition which encourages students to propose digital projects which will benefit the students’ community. No need to be a digital expert\, instead\, we ask them to have a project that seeks to enhance students’ achievement\, and which is related to one of the 8 HackeTaFac themes. It can be a software to help stay organized\, a forum to share ideas\, a website to study and play\, … If they win\, we’ll bring them support and training and up to 10 000€ to realize their project. HackeTaFac is a true collaboration between students and staff\, which lead to innovative solutions developed by students for students.  \n \n2. What is your role in the project? How did you come to be involved in it?  Actually\, I’m a new-comer in HackeTaFac ! The project has been initiated by my colleagues Alexandra Delaunay and Coralie Bajas-Schaefer in 2018\, who actively contributed to its definition\, development and execution. Since September 2020\, I’m in charge of the HackeTaFac global organization\, dealing with administrative\, logistic and communication aspects. I also bring support to team projects. In collaboration with Hassania Sebti\, from the Entrepreneurship Department (ETENA)\, we advise students on project management\, help them find contacts and information and have a facilitating role when needed. We also work closely with our internal partners to propose ways of improving the HackeTaFac challenge.   \n \n3. What challenges does HackeTaFac seeks to address? The main purpose is to create innovative solutions\, which will benefit to all students. In that order\, 8 challenges are proposed to the applicants: prepare for your exams\, becoming a student\, imagine tomorrow’s green campus\, prepare your cross-border mobility\, imagine how to invest alternative places\, manage your time\, prepare your future\, and a free subject.  \n \n4. When is it taking place? Is it the first edition?  HackeTaFac challenge takes place every 2 years. The first edition was in 2018. The next one will start in 2022.  \n \n5. What is the role of students and teaching staff in it?  HackeTaFac requires a real involvement from students\, as they’re studying and developing their project during their curriculum! Most of the time\, the first weeks are dedicated to defining the scope: they discuss about feasibility and deadlines with internal experts\, detail their forecast budget\, ask for advice to external professionals\, etc. They also improve their skills thanks to Project Management trainings or Value Proposition. All along the project\, they become more and more autonomous. Some of them are really enthusiastic to collaborate with their peers and propose student internships. At the same time\, they elaborate surveys and plan beta tests to obtain regular feedbacks from the Community. All motivated teachers are invited to participate to these events and teams are always looking for advice\, knowledge and support from them.  \n \n6. How and what can EPICUR learn from the Hacketafac project?  The big innovation in this project is the fact that it is students themselves who carry out projects that concern them directly. They are at the heart of the design\, and there is a real collaboration between them and us. Too often\, when students think of a project\, they don’t know which actors to approach and are sometimes even suspicious of the institutions they are part of. We are there to help them meet the right actors so that they can develop their skills.  \n \n7. What do you expect from your EPICURtalks on April 6th? What I really expect from the EPICURtalks is to get feedback from university staff from other universities of the Alliance\, whether they are teachers or coordinators. Of course\, there will be a short presentation of the project. But the idea is really to create a space for the exchange of good practices\, a constructed and provided dialogue. Perhaps afterwards they will even be able to copy and paste the concept in their respective universities!  The EPICURtalks series explores the advancement in teaching & learning\, including Liberal Arts and Sciences approaches as well as developments of new tools and didactics in digital and hybrid settings. The EPICURtalks will highlight the innovative teaching & learning projects at the EPICUR alliance and its eight partner universities. Hosted by the University of Freiburg\, the series will travel virtually from partner to partner\, inviting speakers from across the disciplinary spectrum to share their diverse perspectives on the future of teaching & learning in brief talks that inspire and invite further discussion.

SUMMARY:EPICURtalks N°2
DESCRIPTION:The EPICUR Alliance cordially invites you to its second virtual EPICURtalk and discussion on March\, 2nd\, 2021 at 5:30 pm CET \nTeaching European Identities Radio Europe I: Postcolonial Europe\nwith Pia Masurczak\, Teaching Fellow\, University College Freiburg\n\n\n\nIn her talk\, Pia Masurczak will address the outcomes and experiences of her EPICUR-seminar on Postcolonial Europe. Debates about the restitution of African art and artefacts\, about the arrival of refugees and migrants\, or about systemic racism have (re-)surfaced in many European countries in the past few years. These issues are at least partly connected to the colonial legacy of many European nations and Europe as a whole. \nPostcolonial thought offers ways to look at European identities and histories from a different perspective. To explore the ramifications of colonialism\, the students of this seminar shared their analyses and discussions in the form of a five-part podcast series that they produced. Each episode discusses a specific aspect of this engagement with colonial legacies. Additionally\, the students were able to gain a basic understanding of how to transfer their academic skills to a (new) journalistic format and make their information accessible to a wider\, non-academic public.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe EPICURtalks lecture will be followed by a discussion with PD Dr. Miriam Nandi\,project manager and lecturer for the EPICUR European Universities Initiative\, University College Freiburg. There will be time to network and get to know fellow teachers and lecturers from the eight partner institutions after the official part of the event. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to: k.kiefel@zv.uni-freiburg.de by March 1\, 2021. Attendees will receive their zoom link on March 2nd. The event will take approximately an hour.
