On March 5th and 6th, March 2026, the Bauhaus Colloquium for Emerging Researchers will invite early-career researchers from all disciplines to present their research processes and discuss methodological approaches. Methods are central to the colloquium, serving as a link between disciplines and as a source of differences, creative tension, and innovation.
Spanning two days, the colloquium will offer six thematic sessions and two keynote lectures by Prof. Dr. Mona Mahall and Prof. Dr. Lars Abrahamczyk. The contributions will encompass a variety of perspectives, including artistic research, design, engineering, and social science. The goal is to foster an exchange of methodological practices and to demonstrate how diverse research traditions can enhance one another.
The Bauhaus Colloquium for Emerging Researchers will take place at Bauhausstraße 11, Seminarraum A.
