BildBenjamin Cerfontaine's guest lecture on 12 July 2022.
"After a year of collaborating virtually with Gertraud, it was nice and more productive to meet and
discuss in person. I therefore thank the BritInn Network for funding my stay in Innsbruck." says Dr. Benjamin Cerfontaine after his research visit to Innsbruck.
Dr. Cerfontaine was hosted by Dr. Gertraud Medicus from the Unit of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Innsbruck in July 2022. During his stay, the two researchers continued their ongoing collaboration that recently resulted in a published paper. They discussed the preparation of a poster for the ALERTGeomaterialsWorkshop, describing those results.

Dr. Cerfontaine, who is currently researchering and lecturing at the University of Southampton, gave a public guest lecture on "Centrifuge and DEM investigations into screw piles for offshore applications" on 12 July 2022. Due to Covid-19  restrictions or rather recommendations of the University of Innsbruck's rectorate, the lecture took place online. It attracted about 20 viewers, some of them from outside of Austria. The presentation was recorded and uploaded on Youtube with 56 views within a week.

BritInn was happy that the visit of Dr. Cerfontaine took place and is looking forward to hearing about new projects of the Unit of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Innsbruck in cooperation with their collegues at the University of Southampton!

"The goal of this reserach project is to explore the cultural, economic and social topography of the book trade in the Habsburg Monarchy from 1680 until 1750. I will analyse the crucial role of foreign booksellers at these markets, with a focus on Vienna and Prague." explains Dr. Mona Garloff from the Department of History and European Ethnology at the University of Innsbruck.
Dr. Garloff visited colleagues at the University of Cambridge, including colleagues from the Cambridge New Habsburg Studies Research Network, in May 2022. She gave a guest lecture at the Centre for the Study of Global Human Movement and discussed her research project with leading experts of book history and members of the New Habsburg Studies Research Network, which enabled her to think about her second book project in new perspectives.
Moreover, Dr. Garloff was invited to publish her current research in an established series of book history. At the Cambridge University Library and various college libraries she studied a plethora of book catalogues of the Early Modern period. "These sources are important documents for my research, and it was possible for me to collect data for the application for a larger research project which I intent to conduct during a fellowship at the University of Cambridge in 2024." says Dr. Garloff.

Dr. Garloff wants to thank her hosts Dr. William O’Reilly from the Faculty of History and Dr. Jenny Mander from Newnham College, as they were extremely helpful and supportive. 

BritInn was happy to enable this research visit in Cambridge.

Dr. Sarker at the University of West England - Research Collaboration and E-Scooter Survey

7/5/2022

0 Comments

 
In June 2022, Dr. Rumana Sarker visited her colleagues at the University of West England (UWE) in Bristol. As a BritInn-Fellow she used this research visit to work with Dr. Kiron Chatterjee from the Department of Geography and Environmental Management and is an eminent researcher in travel
behaviour. During her stay at UWE, she also had several meetings with other colleagues at UWE to
discuss potential research collaborations. "Dr. Chatterjee was kind enough to organize a
workplace for me at the Centre for Transport and Society (CTS) and arranged a field visit to
observe an ongoing survey in Bristol about the use of e-scooter" said Dr. Sarker when she visited the BritInn office after her research trip. 
Her guest lecture at UWE about "Green is the new black: Motives and barriers of adopting electric cars and (e-)carsharingamong the young adults in Innsbruck, Austria." was held in a hybrid form and well-attended. She had the opportunity to meet participants from different disciplines and "the
active participation of the attendees and a stimulating discussion on my lecture facilitated ideas for several future projects" said Dr. Sarker.
