Study Groups
The introduction of study groups in 2011 made it possible not only to network current and former fellows and interested scientists in Germany and the world, but also to bring them together into a long term, structured working relationship. Study groups serve as a flexible instrument for the fostering scientifically relevant topics at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg. The research groups formerly called Focus Groups were combined with Study Groups in 2022.
