Final Report Abstract

The Cluster of Excellence Asia and Europe in a Global Context was established in 2007 by members from the Faculty of Philosophy and four other faculties. A 2nd funding period began in 2012. In 2013, the Cluster was transformed into a full-scale institute, the Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies (HCTS). In 2019 it has become part of the Centre for Asian and Transcultural Studies (CATS), the first research building project in the Humanities supported by both Federal and State governments. The growing importance of Asia significantly shapes and determines the world in the 21st century. Researchers at the Cluster were investigating the emerging tensions, risks and opportunities. Disciplinary and linguistic diversity, geographical breadth and historical depth have been the hallmarks of our research, it profits from the possibilities that a comprehensive research university can offer. The Cluster aimed to fundamentally realign research and teaching on Asia and Europe. Academic disciplines, traditionally structured in accordance with nation-state borders, do not do justice to the dynamics that have arisen in past and present from the interactions between Europe and Asia. Taking a transcultural perspective throws a critical view upon established concepts, taxonomies and value structures. The Cluster implemented this critical perspective by 1. creating 5 sustainable professorships and, in the 2nd phase, 2 start-up professorships, reaching across disciplines; 2. offering project funding for 10 junior research groups in the Humanities and Social Sciences; 3. providing funds for research projects in 4 Research Areas (A Governance and Administration, B Public Spheres, C Health and Environment/Knowledge Systems, D Historicities and Heritage); 4. building an international Graduate Programme for Transcultural Studies (GPTS) and an English-language Master Programme for Transcultural Studies (MATS); 5. developing a series of innovative open-access publications in Transcultural Studies and the Heidelberg Research Architecture (HRA), a digital and computational humanities unit; 6. establishing the Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies (HCTS), a long-term research platform with associated graduate, fellowship and research programs financed by project funds; 7. winning additional funds for the construction of the Centre for Asian and Transcultural Studies (CATS), an innovative collaboratorium supporting transdisciplinary and transregional collaboration between the Humanities and the Social Sciences, which, through its central library, serves the use of hybrid, digital and conventional sources. The transcultural perspective has become an integral part of the university's institutional strategy (e.g. Field of Focus 3 Cultural Dynamics in Globalized Worlds). In addition, (Transforming) Cultural Heritage, a concept significantly grounded in research at the Cluster, has become one of the University’s flagship initiatives.
