Cross-Cultural Philology | Cluster of Excellence

The Cluster of Excellence ‘Cross-Cultural Philology’ researches 5,000 years of cultural heritage from multiple perspectives, across cultures, and with a solid historical foundation, all while showing the enormous relevance of philology to the present day. 

The Cluster is an interdisciplinary research network which draws together 25 departments at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and one at Julius-Maximilian-University in Würzburg, drawing at the same time on the knowledge of a large number of national and international partners. 

The Cluster is amongst the most important humanities projects supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) – German Research Foundation.
