This year’s Start-up scholars from Brazil, Iceland, Italy, Madagascar, Montenegro and Vietnam introduced themselves and their planned research projects with short poster presentations to very different topics among them: politics of the sporting body in Northern Europe from the 1950s until today, transnational radical nationalist networks between Germany and Italy in the inter war period (1918–1933), self-governance and career of Vietnamese workers and career paths of women in Madagascar.

The poster presentation session was followed by an informal get-together with the doctoral researchers of the BGHS. All participants had the chance to walk around in the poster exhibition, ask further questions, discuss the planned projects and get in contact.
