NW 32 "Organizational Education" is linked to the WERA IRG on Organizational Education. Some colleagues are part of both, of EERA NW 32 and of WERA IRG.
General Activities
We had online events for the members on researcher positionality, events for young researchers, reaching out to the community of the ERC, where we always are present and support as Network 32.
We are connected to the annual conferences of the German educational association GERA's section organizational education.
At present we are planning the DiscourseNet Congress On 'Discursive Imaginaries of Change. Heterotopias, Power, Knowledge and the Great Transformation', which will take place 19th - 21st July 2027 at Philipps Universität Marburg, Germany. .
Publications
We plan to develop our publishing strategy towards Open Access and actively follow the ECER debates here. We participate in the ECER meetings regarding the planned open access strategy and intend to develop this further in our network.
We are planning a special issue and we are still finishing the 10th anniversary book, which is co-funded and supported by ECER funds.
We have a European handbook on organizational education in planning and at the moment we realize the second etition of the German handbook on organizational education. It will include 115 chapters and we expect it to be published in 2028.
Future Plans
Our future plans refer to establishing a new Network Development Board, which will contribute actively to the development of the network. We plan to develop a strategic plan, in order to develop the networks research activities. Moreover, we plan to realize a first pilot for a European Lecture Series Organizational Education starting in autumn 2026. We would like to apply for EERA funding to set up an interactive European Online Map of Organizational Education.
