We are currently seeking a motivated scientific employee to join our German-French Future Workshop research group, with a focus on collaborative field research.

The main task of the German-French Future Workshop is to strengthen the transformation capacity of both countries.

  • Researching municipal initiatives that promote socioecological transformation at the local level
  • Conducting background research and defining research questions
  • Conducting interviews, participating in observations, etc.
  • Analyzing collected data
  • Identifying differences and similarities between French and German transformation processes and their framework conditions
