In recent years, the concept of inclusion has become a key term in socio-political developments – both at national and international level. The project “International Perspectives on Inclusion” builds on these developments and aims to bring together theoretical, method(olog)ical and practical perspectives and discourses on inclusion at a European level. Together with researchers from the Università della Calabria, the Universidad Pontificia Comillas and the Philipps-Universität Marburg, an international presentation series dedicated to these efforts will be organized over the course of 2025. In addition to academic exchange, the project also aims to establish and strengthen network structures between the participating universities (and possibly beyond) and to explore opportunities for future collaboration in research and teaching, as well as to promote the internationalization of student life as a whole.
This project is made possible through seed funding from the EUPeace Fund, an initial incentive launched to cultivate and develop interest across EUPeace communities in our network; by providing a first format for collaboration, the Fund equips participating researchers, educators, students and administrators with a practical tool for experimentation and active participation, employing a bottom-up approach that generates concrete information on the interests and needs of our communities and informs future collaborative initiatives.
