    In order to enhance cross-disciplinary synergy gains and strengthen interdisciplinary cohesion, LCCL hosts seminars offering beyond-the-discipline training for affiliate researchers. Seminars are designed as a co-operational undertaking involving scholars working with various methodological tools. The next seminar series is scheduled for 2024 and will introduce basic cognitive (inter alia cognitive semantic) methods within a variety of cognitive foci to projects-affiliate historical and sociolinguists as well as cultural anthropologists working in the field.

  • Research Practice Seminars at the University of Vienna

    The cross-disciplinary seminar integrated as “conversatorium” of individual profile building into the MA curriculum is realized as joint-teaching. It aims to attract future junior researchers providing MA students with an opportunity to take an insider look at and collect first hands-on research experience in an interdisciplinary setting in research activities within the research network of LCCL and, in particular, at the Balkan Studies Research Unit of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The focus lies on the holistic comprehension of regional studies and qualifications normally not covered by a standard curriculum.
