Current Research Projects

• Litkey
  [Note: the Litkey project ended officially in 12/22, after a funding period of 7 years overall. It had been extended multiple times on account of eight parental leaves in total in three of the four subprojects. We were able to collect all data as planned; data analysis and publication are still ongoing, however.]
