Connected Central European Worlds, 1500–1700 is a research initiative that explores the cultural, religious, and intellectual entanglements within East-Central Europe, focusing on underrepresented regions such as Bohemia, Poland-Lithuania, Hungary, and Ukraine. It examines how these areas shaped and were shaped by broader European dynamics through the study of material culture and transcultural exchanges. The project highlights the region’s pivotal role in early modern global networks.

North of Byzantium – an initiative organized by Maria Alessia Rossi and Alice Isabella Sullivan – explores the rich history, art, and culture of the northern frontiers of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Europe between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries. Through annual events, publications, and resources, the initiative addresses issues of visual eclecticism in art and architecture, patronage, the transfer of artistic ideas and styles, and charts how cross-cultural exchange operated in regions of the Balkan Peninsula, the Carpathian Mountains, and further north, which developed at the crossroads of the Latin, Greek, Slavic, and Islamic cultural spheres.
