Support & Partners

Building on a track record of excellence, we invite scholars from Justus Liebig University and beyond to join and contribute to our vibrant research community in the study of culture.
Self-funded visiting scholars (postdoctoral level) are warmly encouraged to get in touch and carry out their projects at the centre, benefitting from our research infrastructure and rich culture of interdisciplinary dialogue and collaborative exchange. We also provide assistance with grant applications, such as in our series “Peer Advice on Research Funding”.
