Events

The project was about “Comopolitanism and the local” in narratives about science and nature, and about both cosmopolitan and local in practice. To this end, a series of events such as workshops, summer schools, lecture series and joint exhibits will facilitate scholar and knowledge exchange.  The following is a small overview of the past activities of the partnership.
