The transnational research seminar consists of lectures by invited international scholars dedicated to the study of cultural transfers in very different regions. The presenters discuss the relationship between cultural transfer research, transnational history and transregional studies using examples from their ongoing research. The sessions take place monthly and are open to MA and PhD students of ENS Paris and Leipzig University, as well as all interested researchers. Since the beginning of 2023 with the inauguration of the Franco-German Graduate School “Cultural Transfers”, operated by the École normale supérieure and Leipzig University and funded by the Franco-German University, the seminar has also become a central part of its teaching program.
