Semester Topics
Every semester the CDC organizes its collective research under a semester theme, under which a series of events then take place. These themes allow us to develop coherent research thematics while flexibly engaging with a number of subsidiary themes. We usually organize symposia, workshops and lectures, as well as a variety of more experimental and open event formats, such as conversations or barcamps.
The central ‘spine’ of the semester themes are the CDC Talks, Workshops, and Panels.
