LOST Paper Party 2026

2026-07-07

Just before EGOS, we came together to celebrate our annual LOST paper party, dedicating an evening to our (joint) achievements and failures, concerning publications and beyond. This time around, Hanna Pauline Boerries, Steffen Farny, Laura Fey, Lena Kostuj, Pauline Reinecke, Iris Seidemann, and Matthias Wenzel shared the stories behind their reasons to celebrate. 

Here are a few highlights:

  • Hanna Pauline Boerries, together with Elke Schüßler and Dennis Schoeneborn, secured funding for a DFG project “Corporate Sustainability Communication in an Age of Polarization (CS-CAP): Why Firms Either Engage in Stakeholder Dialogue or Retract to Strategic Silence”
  • Laura Fey secured funding for a DFG network: “Organizing Societal Transformation: a process-based perspective”
  • Pauline Reinecke and Markus Reihlen secured funding for the project: "PROXIA – Innovation Network Lower Saxony for the Future of Human–Machine Interaction", funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the State of Lower Saxony; 2026-2028
  • & Matthias Wenzel secured funding for a DFG network on future-making!
