How do I apply to form a Working Group (an AG) or a Section?
GGK application guidelines: Sections and Working Groups.
Should you wish to work on a topic or an area of research that has not yet been addressed by one of the GGK's sections or AGs, you may, together with three or four other interested individuals, submit an informal application for the establishment of an AG to the GGK directorate. The criteria for approval are the topic's relevance for the field of cultural studies' research, the innovative nature of its formulation, and, above all, the utility of the AG for your own doctoral work.
Be sure to attend a PhD consultation hour before applying.
