GKAT Conferences, Workshops and Retreats
Within its nine-year funding period, GKAT has focused on building strong internal as well as external networks for authority & trust research. A welcome week for every new cohort of PhD students and yearly research retreats established and strengthened the base for successful interdisciplinary collaboration throughout the years. International conferences and workshops furthered the exchange, leading to lasting research collaborations, publications, and mentorships.
