Every winter term, the Frobenius Institute invites international scholars of cultural anthropology and related disciplines to present their current research projects in its colloquium on ongoing research. The colloquium is characterized by its diversity of topics, regional contexts and disciplines, and serves the discursive, dialogical and critical acquisition of knowledge. The personal encounter in the colloquium is intended to enable and strengthen scientific cooperations.
