The short seminar will discuss how AIAS actively creates frameworks and formats that support peer-to-peer networks and cohort-building through structured activities such as research feedback sessions, interdisciplinary exchanges, and collaborative initiatives like writing and discussion groups. Particular attention will be given to how these cross-disciplinary and cross-faculty formats strengthen engagement among ECRs, cultivate and foster a shared sense of community and belonging, and enable lasting networks of mutual support and collaboration across the university.
