Since the general meeting of January 24th, I am officially an associated member of the Center for French Studies (Frankreichzentrum) of Freiburg University.
The Center was founded in 1989 as an autonomous interdisciplinary institution bundling the university’s research and teaching with a focus on France. It offers master programs in economics, journalism and intercultural studies and strives to intensify interdisciplinary cooperation between various fields – especially economics, law, French language, history and communication studies. Moreover, the center functions as a catalyst of German-French cultural exchange
