The school gives young scholars the opportunity to discuss with eminent scholars in management theory and to test their ideas and present their work. Participants will become familiar with recent research from a broad set of disciplines. They will work on their ability to engage in the transdisciplinary discourse which is required for the development of innovative answers to the grand challenges of sustainability, equality and democracy. Participants may also learn from leading scholars the ways in which business can undermine democratic principles, processes and values, or contribute to them through new business models.

🎓 Who can apply? Master students, PhD students, and junior researchers in History, Cultural Studies, Political Science and International Relations, and Gender Studies, Archaeology and History.
‼️ Application deadline: February 28, 2026
For centuries, the Mediterranean has been a crossroads where peoples, ideas, and powers encountered one another. From the Crusades to World War I, the region witnessed constant interactions through trade, diplomacy, religion, law, and cultural exchange, as well as military conflict, all of which shaped political and social life across three continents. Recent scholarship has demonstrated that these connections were not peripheral but central to the histories of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Yet Mediterranean history often remains at the margins of global and national historiographies. Global history has tended to privilege the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, while national histories have narrowly focused on the modern nation-state, isolating developments within fixed borders. This seminar challenges those boundaries and invites participants to explore how Mediterranean history, grounded in primary sources and framed through a comparative perspective, can reshape our understanding of the past and open new pathways for thinking about both global and national histories.
