Young Academics Network

The Young Academics Network (YAN) of the Leibniz ScienceCampus RECOMENT brings together early career researchers from all disciplines who share an interest in inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to resilience. Conceived as a self-organized platform, the network fosters scholarly dialogue, collegial exchange, and visibility within the wider research consortium. A key aim is to involve early-career researchers in RECOMENT’s interdisciplinary debates at an early stage and to provide them with opportunities to actively shape and contribute their own research topics, perspectives, and formats. 

Activities

At the heart of the YAN is a regular colloquium, independently organized by early career researchers. The colloquium provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of ongoing qualification projects, theoretical reflections, methodological approaches, as well as work-in-progress ideas within the field of resilience research.

In addition to the colloquium, the YAN offers space for further formats that can be jointly developed within the network, including:

  • workshops and thematic discussion groups,

  • informal exchange formats, and

  • collaborative working formats.

The nature, scope and design of these activities are guided by the interests and needs of the participants.

Participation

The Young Academics Network welcomes early career researchers from all disciplines whose research engages thematically, methodologically, or theoretically with resilience research and who have an interest in interdisciplinary collaboration within the context of RECOMENT. An institutional affiliation with the partners of the Leibniz ScienceCampus is not mandatory.

Participation in the YAN is flexible. Meetings and activities take place in person, online or in hybrid formats, depending on needs. The working languages are German and English. Participants may contribute actively to shaping the network or take part selectively in individual formats. The network thrives on the perspectives, experiences, and interests of its members.
