Events at GSZ
The Georg-Simmel-Centre sees it as an essential task to ensure the transfer of knowledge. To achieve this goal, regular events are organized und coordinated - both within the university and internationally.
Think & Drink
The Department of Urban and Regional Sociology in cooperation with the Georg Simmel Center for Urban Studies is presenting the Think & Drink colloquium, where national and international speakers present contemporary themes in urban research. The colloquium will take place during the semester on Mondays from 6 pm at Universitätsstraße 3b, Berlin 10117, Room 002.
After the discussion there will be a small „get together“ with snacks and drinks.

Georg Simmel Tage
The students' conference of the Georg Simmel Center for Urban Studies (GSZ) serves as a networking platform for an interdisciplinary exchange between young academics with an interest in urban research. During the conference, all participants have the opportunity to present their thesis and discuss current issues of urban research.
The Georg-Simmel-Preis or the best Bachelor's and Master's theses, as well as the Hartmut-Häußermann-Preis for the best monography, is be awarded at the conference.
Stadtlabor für multimodale Anthropologie
In the ‘Stadtlabor for multimodal anthropology’, we would like to unfold a double agenda:
1) The Stadtlabor should open up a forum for academic and non-academic researchers interested in practices, promises, processes and problems of city-making. Our idea is to develop something we have started calling ‘an anthropology of urbanism’, paying particular attention not only to the modern urban design discipline and its role in governmental formations, but also to insurgent, everyday and more-than-human ways in which cities are being re-designed and re-made. Following a ‘near ANT’ approach, we aim to explore socio-material articulations and onto-epistemic controversies surrounding current urban transformations.
2) The Stadtlabor should also become a space where to experiment with what a multimodal urban anthropology might involve, that is, one that resorts to material productions, in order to reflect and intervene in processes of city-making. Accordingly, we would like to render the Stadtlabor a working space, that is, a workshop or even a studio, where all sorts of projects could be developed in collaboration with different urban actors.
