Guest Researchers

An important part of our dynamic research environment are the many visiting researchers who stay for shorter or longer periods of time. These guests are often invited by a certain research group at the Centre to build up networks, exchange knowledge, write applications or organise conferences and workshops. Many of the international researchers return several times to continue their collaborations within the groups and contribute to a creative and inspiring research environment.

In 2022-2023, the following people have been visiting researchers at the Centre for Gender Research, for longer or shorter periods:
