The Researcher groups provide a transparent organizational framework within which existing as well as new research and teaching activities is allowed to grow, adapt and develop. The purpose of the groups is to organize collective research and teaching activities at the department, and to strengthen their imbricaiton.

Each group has a limited set of responsibilities, but is otherwise free to pursue whatever its members wish to do at varying degrees of ambition. Groups may collaborate or even merge with existing researcher collectives at the department (“platforms”, collective research projects, reading groups, etc), or may not; and each participant may engage with their group(s) at varying levels of intensity.
