The
The Zentrum für Kulturwissenschaftliche Forschung Lübeck (ZKFL) is an interdisciplinary research institution that was founded in 2011 by the Universität zu Lübeck and the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The ZKFL is dedicated to promoting cultural studies doctoral projects with the aim of scientifically developing the valuable collection and museum holdings in Lübeck and thus sustainably documenting and making accessible the cultural heritage of the region.
The ZKFL offers a unique platform for young researchers who work on cultural studies issues from different professional perspectives. The focus is on interdisciplinary cooperation between the humanities and social sciences, which enables an innovative and reflective approach to the study of cultural processes. In this way, the ZKFL promotes young researchers and makes a significant contribution to strengthening cultural research in Northern Germany.
The main mission of the ZKFL is to sustainably enable and network cultural studies research in order to preserve and further develop Lübeck's cultural wealth through scientific projects in research and teaching. The center places particular emphasis on quality, interdisciplinarity and the promotion of young scientists.
Sustainability at the ZKFL is primarily reflected in the long-term funding of cultural studies research projects and the responsible use of historical holdings. By maintaining close cooperation with museum and cultural institutions, the center helps to make cultural studies knowledge socially effective and to highlight the importance of cultural heritage for the present and the future.
The ZKFL is thus a key player in the field of cultural and humanities, which strengthens Lübeck's cultural and scientific profile through targeted promotion of research, networking and knowledge transfer and functions as an interface between the university, the city and cultural institutions.
This description is based on information from the official website of the ZKFL and takes into account the focus on cultural studies research, doctorates and cooperation with cultural institutions in Lübeck[3][1].
