Dear all, due to the increasing incidence numbers here in Germany we have decided to postpone the WiMR workshop. It will instead be held in summer 2023 in conjunction with the conference GEM 2023. Call for papers and conference and workshop details will be posted here, and on our website https://for2812.rub.de, once they have been finalized. We look forward to greeting you here in Bochum, Germany in 2023 and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

In conjunction with International Women's Day the FOR 2812 is organising its first “*Women in Memory Research*” event from *March 7-9, 2022.*
The percentage of senior female university researchers in our field (in Germany) lies between 21% and 29%. Our goal is to increase these numbers! So come and learn what an academic career looks like at the Ruhr University Bochum and discover its advantages. You'll be introduced to the university and it's support structures, be able to participate in university wide programs, meet with female faculty, listen to some amazing scientific talks, present your research, and see what collaborative research looks like in the RUB memory research community.
Sounds exciting?
