Abstract:
In the interdisciplinary network, 15 researchers from Germany, Switzerland and the UK focus on

(2) the development of professionalisation perspectives of adult researchers for conducting participatory research with children
(3) the reflexive conceptualisation of the research activities of researching children and their empowerment for participatory research.

The three-year network period will end with a transdisciplinary conference on the topic of "Ethics in participatory research with children", at which the network's internal discussion will be opened up to an interantional audience of experts.
