GeStiK is not only part of academic debates and networks. In the spirit of a necessary opening and expansion of academic understandings and the desire and necessity for the broadest possible participation, inclusion and continuous dialogue, the GeStiK network also includes institutions, organizations, initiatives and actors beyond the university sphere. Reliable, lasting and important alliances have already developed here in diverse and numerous collaborations, which contribute significantly to the mutual questioning, inspiration and expansion of knowledge situated in each case.
