Congratulations to Professor Nicholas Halmi who has been elected to the Zentrum für Klassikforschung (Research Centre for European Classicism) of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. The Stiftung is Germany’s second-largest cultural foundation, responsible for over 30 museums, archives, and historical sites in and around Weimar, with a particular focus on Goethe and his age.
Professor Halmi said, "I am delighted and honoured to have been elected to the Zentrum für Klassikforschung, particularly because it is unusual for someone not formally trained as a Germanist to be elected. While recognising my long engagement with German thought and culture and interest in Anglo-German cultural transfer, the election also reflects the Klassik Stiftung’s commitment to increasing international co-operation."
