The German Research Foundation (DFG) has agreed to fund the establishment of a new Research Training Group at Freie Universität Berlin. Within the new group, entitled Global "Intellectual History – Transfer, Circulation of Ideas, Major Players (18th to 20th Centuries)," scholars will address intellectual responses to integration processes, the emergence of cross-border claims, and the universalization of ideas, as well as counter-movements. Particular attention will be paid to non-Western players. The members of the group will also contribute to the discussion of methods within the field of global intellectual history, which is still a relatively recent approach.
