zIReN Meeting, Freiburg im Breisgau, 2023

Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law, Freiburg i. Br., Germany

The z-proso International Research Network (zIReN) met this year at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) in Freiburg i. Br. from 14th to 16th September 2023.

Researchers from all over Europe and Brazil came together to share their latest research with data from the Zurich Project of Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso). The event was also an opportunity to initiate future collaborations and strengthen connections among the research teams. There was a wide range of presentations from conspiracy mentality, over crime and physical aggression, to substance use.

A big thank you to the team around Jean-Louis van Gelder who organised an inspiring and socially enriching meeting at the MPI!
