About the project
The project "Plurality of Memories in Europe in a Global Perspective" started as an interdisciplinary initiative developed by scholars in the fields of history, literature, political science and sociology from four universities of the Alliance: Charles University, Heidelberg University, Sorbonne University and the University of Warsaw. It aims to create a European pole of excellence in Memory Studies by encouraging students' and scholars' collaboration and mobility between the six universities of the 4EU+ Alliance. The seminar will nevertheless foster networking beyond those respective institutions.
