Knowledge Exchange • Cluster of Excellence "Contestations of the Liberal Script"

Knowledge Exchange Lab — KEL

The Knowledge Exchange Lab is an interface between research and practice. It enables multiple interconnections among SCRIPTS’ core findings and topics and public discourses that explore their political, practical as well as societal implications.

The KEL engages researchers with policy-makers, practitioners and institutions from the arts, culture, civil society, media, and non-governmental organisations to secure the connectivity of ongoing research activities and mutual knowledge exchange. Cordula Hamschmidt serves as Coordinator Arts & Culture, Boris Nitzsche as Coordinator Politics.
