ARTES research takes place in more than thirty individual research projects and groups, organized in seven clusters: CEDLA, EAST, European narratives, Global Travel Cultures, Islam, Culture and Society, MeMoCult and Transnational governance. These clusters reflect the bottom-up, content-driven structure of ARTES as a research school. They combine various disciplines and methodologies to either regional or transregional themes and questions. We encourage cross-overs and collaboration between clusters, and our researchers are often involved in more than one cluster.
