The Cluster of Excellence Cross-Cultural Philology brings together 25 departments at LMU Munich, one at Julius Maximilian University in Würzburg and a broad range of international cooperation partners. The result is a truly unique, interdisciplinary research network. The cluster draws on innovative approaches to explore 5,000 years of cultural history from multiple perspectives, across cultures and with a solid historical foundation, all of which highlights the enormous relevance of philology to the present day.
As such, the cluster ranks among the most important humanities projects supported by the German Research Association (DFG).
Complete with visual appeal, music and a subsequent reception, the opening ceremony will showcase the cluster’s future work to a wide audience.
Admission is free, but prior registration is required. For more information, please visit the Cluster of Excellence Cross-Cultural Philology website.
