On Friday, October 20, 2023, the fifth scientific TraCe Research Colloquium took place at Justus Liebig University Giessen. Also, members met for the subsequent General Meeting at JLU Giessen.
During the Research Colloquium, participants exchanged insights into their respective research in two thematic blocks. Whereas during the first panel participants discussed transformations in Eastern Europe from a historical and sociolinguistic perspective, the second panel was dedicated to the United Nations. Participants critically discussed the role and responsibility of the UN for peace and international security.
The research colloquium was followed by a TraCe General Meeting, in which members from various locations addressed organizational and content-related issues. The members informed each other about their respective work processes, exchanged ideas about further projects and, in small groups, formulated wishes and suggestions for further cooperation.
