New workshop format: Safety training for research

As a consequence of an application in GGG’s new funding line „from the bottom up“ we are offering a new workshop format this year: Travel Risk Response in Field Research – How to prevent putting yourself in danger.

The workshop takes place on October 18, 2022 and aims at providing relevant information and practical training to avoid risk and danger during field research abroad, which.sometimes goes along with exceptional dangers and risks for researchers. This workshop seeks to anticipate individual challenges and offer adequate solutions for PhD students who intend to conduct research abroad. You will receive fundamental information and guidelines for individual travel preparation, e.g. concerning accomodation security, emergency plans and emergency equipment. Furthermore, you will simulate dangerous situations like raid, sudden stress or medical emergencies. This practical training shall empower you to react quickly and reasonably in cases of emergency.

The trainers offer an online information exchange in advance (on 15 September, 2022). By participating in this preparatory exchange, you get the chance to ask questions and customize the workshop content with regard to individual expectations and experiences on the one hand and travel plans (destination, duration of stay, accomodation, group trip vs. individual field excursion etc.).
