Generation Innovation across Europe

So beschreibt die Plattform "Respekt.net" das Crowdfunding-Projekt "Generation Innovation across Europe"

We would like to investigate the similarities and differences of young people through the international matrix of our partner universities situated in Austria, (Eastern) Germany, the Czech Republic and Ukraine. By doing so we would like to support the network with regional universities in Lviv, Olomouc, Magdeburg, in order to compensate the competitive disadvantage they usually have in relation to universities located in capital cities. In regard to the proposed research project the individual partners of the consortium are furthermore capable of contributing a wide range of interdisciplinary competencies, such as: e.g. cultural psychology, psychotherapy science and qualitative research methodology (Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna), history and historical anthropology (OvGU Magdeburg), theory of consumer culture and philosophy of art (Palacký-University Olomouc), journalism and psychology (Ukrainian Catholic University Lviv), etc.   Time Line Jan. 2016: Project Start Selection of candidates, setting up the consortium, preparing empirical research workshops and workshops regarding European and national funding programs, organizing travel and housing for team members Feb. 2016: 1st Partner Meeting (Lviv, Ukraine) Getting to know the group members, research workshop and preparation of empirical research; presentation of European and national research funds Feb-Apr. 2016: Research Phase 1 field research and group discussions at the four project locations Apr. 2016: 2nd Partner Meeting (Olomouc, Czech Republic) Presentation of preliminary results & joint data analysis workshop, discussion of sampling strategy for research phase 2; discussion of intervention and dissemination measures; discussion of options for applying to further national or European research...
