Annotation:

Cultural transfer, as a subject of research, begins to appear around 1980. It refers to various cultural areas in (and between) which people – the bearers of cultures, and cultural products – are exchanged, circulated, and transformed. Cultural transfer is therefore explored interdisciplinary in several areas of research, e.g. literary science, philology, art history, cultural geography, anthropology, sociology, migration studies, etc. The aim of our research is to depict how we can perceive cultural transfer in humanities and to spread interdisciplinary awareness of the cultural heterogeneity that arises from this exchange.

Our 10 research aims are:

  1. To promote research and first teaching experience for young researchers and scholars and practitioners in the European Union issues.

  2. To foster the publication and dissemination of the results of academic research.

  3. To create interest in the EU and constitutes the basis for future poles of the European knowledge, particularly in Partner Countries.

  4. To deliver tailor-made courses on the specific EU issues relevant for graduates in their professional life.

  5. To promote research among the public, and in local press.

  6. To strengthen cooperation and form to next generation of distinguished experts.

  7. To bring together scholars, policymakers, stakeholders, students and to share different views in the United Europe.

  8. To provide consultations on the issue of cultural identity, cultural policy, and cultural transfer in Europe.

  9. To implement recommendations and opinions to real-world questions concerning the EU issues covered by the project research.

  10. To disseminate the project results in Slovakia and abroad.
