The research group “Spatio-Temporal Studies Erfurt” is concerned with the elaboration of a theoretical basis for the development of interdisciplinary and transregional research on the symbiosis of space of time, e.g. SpatioTemporality, applicable to all epochs. Its activities include the organisation of workshops, the realisation of individual research projects, and generally offering an inspiring framework for discussions of doctoral candidates and post-docs, as well as the active networking of researchers.

The prize to be awarded is named after two theoreticians who dealt in their work with significant aspects of Spatiality, Temporality and SpatioTemporality. These works have not lost their value and pertinence for innovative social and cultural sciences.
The prize will be rewarded in the form of printing subsidies in the amount of 2.500 EUR. A prerequisite for the subsidy is the inclusion of the publication in the series “SpatioTemporality” (see www.degruyter.com/view/serial/466365 ).
Procedure: Formats eligible for the prize are monographs, preferably in English, on the topics related to SpatioTemporality, coming from all disciplines. Further, academic qualifications completed in 2019 or 2020 (the date that is decisive here is that of the last examination). Beside the paper itself, the candidate should supply us with an abstract (of about one page), a paper of about two pages in which the motivation behind the application is to be explained, a CV, and, in case of an academic qualification, the reports on the academic qualification.
Please send all documents in electronic form (max. 5 MB) to: raumzeitforschung@uni-erfurt.de
Application deadline is the 31/12/2020. The jury's decision is final and there is no recourse to legal action. The winner will be announced at the latest at end of March 2021. The Bachtin-Lebfebvre Prize for Studies in SpatioTemporality is funded by the “Sciencefunding Erfurt gGmbH”.
