CAN-D: 3. Research Workshop

The third joint research workshop of Integration CAN-D took place at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) in Toronto (Canada), on April 9-11, 2019. The topics were “Language and Literacy”, “Teacher Education”, and “Mental health and Wellbeing”.

CAN-D: 2. Research Workshop

The second joint research workshop of Integration CAN-D took place at the Transferzentrum of the PH Heidelberg, University of Education, on December 12-14, 2018. The topic was “Knowledge transfer/mobilization in refugee research: Experiences and concepts from Germany and Canada”.

In December 2018, twenty-five researchers gathered in Heidelberg to discuss and exchange about current knowledge mobilization approaches in the field of refugee research. Participants of the workshop in Heidelberg on knowledge mobilization were researchers from the German Leibniz institutions, German and Canadian universities and Canadian service provider organizations.

Research transfer and mobilization is an evolving concept and, so far, a clear and coherent systematization has not been developed. Depending on the perspectives involved, different approaches and schemes are considered as research transfer.

The workshop agenda offered an oversight about the most relevant fields of knowledge mobilization in this field of research: communication and information, consulting, education and training and cooperation. In this frame, approaches of various projects to knowledge mobilization were discussed. For instance the Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia in Halifax (Canada); the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration in London, Ontario (Canada); the Real-World laboratory: asylum seekers in the Rhine Neckar region (Real-Labor Asyl) in Heidelberg (Germany); and various research projects in the field of education and teacher education introduced their concepts.

The CIDER Fellowship Workshop should have taken place at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education in Frankfurt am Main with a focus on “large scale data sets”. All CIDER fellows were invited to present their own research projects.

CIDER Kick-Off Workshop 2019

The new cohort of the CIDER program with 30 fellows started with a great Kick-off Workshop at the IPN – Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education in Kiel. At the workshop, the new fellows had the opportunity to get to know each other and to meet the senior researchers and former fellows from the first two cohorts. At the heart of the workshop, the fellows presented their field of research expertise in the respective disciplines. Furthermore, there was room to exchange first ideas for future interdisciplinary collaborations (the so called micro groups).
