European Graduate Collaboration Conference –
“Taking the Bull by the Horns. Humanities and Social Science Perspectives on the Idea of Europe”, University of Augsburg (Germany), 3-5 November 2023

From 3rd – 5th November 2023 three MIC postgraduate students associated with the Irish Centre for Transnational Studies (ICTS)  participated in the graduate conference ‘Taking the Bull by the Horns. Humanities and Social Science Perspectives on the Idea of Europe’.  PhD students Hanna Rompf (German Studies); Rebecca O’Grady (French Studies/German Studies); and Amélie Gaillat (History) discussed the idea of Europe as a transnational space from the perspective of their current research projects.

This was the first step toward a new interdisciplinary graduate network reaching across disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. Networking partners are the University of Augsburg (Germany), University of Verona (Italy), University of Bucharest (Romania), the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and a French partner institution (tbc). The aim is to support graduates at PhD and postdoctoral level from participating institutions to collaborate, access international funding, and support them on their further career paths. Contact person at MIC: Dr Sabine Egger.
