Social conflicts, ecological needs and the digitalisation of the living environment: if current social developments are shaping the built environment of tomorrow, what challenges, problems and contradictions will this cause for housing?
Since autumn 2024, researchers in Weimar and Frankfurt conduct interdisciplinary research on the current housing situationin the the joint research training group (Graduiertenkolleg, GRK) "Gewohnter Wandel. Social Transformation and Spatial Materialisation of Housing", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The Research Training Group offers 12 research fellows and up to 8 associated doctoral candidates a structured 3.5-year programme accompanying their doctoral studies. In an initial funding period of 5 years (2024–2029), the fellows will be divided into two cohorts (starting in 2024 and 2027, respectively) at the two locations, Bauhaus -Universität Weimar and Goethe -Universität Frankfurt/Main, and will be involved in interdisciplinary research discourses on critical housing research.
Over the entire funding period of nine years, up to 36 doctoral theses on housing issues can be completed. > more info
