The workshop was held in Berlin on 11-13 April 2019 and jointly organized by the China Media Project and the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University. Additional support were given by the Robert Bosch Academy (providing venue) and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (supporting hotel stays for guests from Poland and the Czech Republic). The workshop brought together Chinese and European journalists and scholars who reflected on and assessed China’s global role and the importance of media in this development. The workshop laid the foundation for future networking and research collaboration on both the study of contemporary Chinese society and its media.

Workshoppen arrangerades i Lund med professor Halldor Sigurdsson som ansvarig. Målet med workshoppen var att föra samman forskare från flera germanska språksamhällen, bl.a. för att främja kunskap om och förståelse av kasusvariationen i de (kasusfattiga) germanska språken. Program för workshoppen

This workshop brought together researchers working on island constraints in the Mainland Scandinavian languages, mainly from a psycholinguistic perspective. The goal was to provide an opportunity to discuss how to interpret the results of recent works on extraction data in these languages in relation to the alleged universality of island constraints and in relation to the debate concerning the division of labor between structural and non-structural factors. Workshop programmeAbstracts
