Lace: Literature and Change in Europe
Defending a multilingual and cross-cultural approach that reflects the cooperation between institutions from diverse regions of Europe, and focusing on both continuities and discontinuities in European cultural history against the backdrop of exchanges with the ‘Tout-Monde’ (Edouard Glissant), a globalized world undergoing an intense process of cross-fertilization and creolization, LACE strives to document and analyse the ways in which the arts – broadly conceived – contribute to western culture’s self-reflection.

IWL (Institute of World Literature)
The Institute for World Literature (IWL) is created to explore the study of literature in a globalizing world. As we enter the twenty-first century, our understanding of “world literature” has expanded beyond the classic canon of European masterpieces and entered a far-reaching inquiry into the variety of the world’s literary cultures and their distinctive reflections and refractions of the political, economic, and religious forces sweeping the globe. With its headquarters at Harvard University and partners around the globe, The Institute for World Literature seeks to provide real training in world literature in global perspective. Meeting for four weeks each July, the Institute will be global in its presence as well as its intentions, rotating among different locations around the world, from Beijing to Harvard to Istanbul and beyond.

ECHIC-European Consortium for Humanities Institutes and Centres
The European Consortium for Humanities Institutes and Centres pursues a threefold purpose: to speak up on behalf of members in dialogues with ESF, EU and other funding and policy-making bodies to canvass the need for humanities research; to be able to speak on behalf of the humanities and develop a language for the (position of) humanities institutes in European universities today; to organize an annual humanities conference at a member institution, which would involve all the main partners, including funding and policy-making bodies at the European and the national levels; and to establish a network across the EU to lobby for the humanities in Europe today; to prepare collaborative projects and activities and set up an effective networking system with other international networks in the humanities, such as CHCI and others.
