Created in 2010, the labex (Laboratories of Excellence) aim to provide significant resources to research departments of international visibility. In this context, TransferS brings together, around the question of cultural transfers, all the humanities and social sciences laboratories of the école normale supérieure (ENS), its literary libraries and two departments of the Collège de France. Fully integrated into the life of the école normale supérieure, TransferS is located on the premises of the rue d’Ulm.
The implementation of this ambitious project requires not only the support of a team dedicated to researchers, but also the funding of various operations. TransferS annually supports dozens of programs structured into four research themes as well as numerous publications and various activities to disseminate knowledge. In addition, the creation of a Digital Humanities department offers its partners the opportunity to develop the most appropriate tools.
