The publication presents research results on a multitude of knowledge exchange processes in
post-enlightenment Europe. These focus on the question in how far deeply rooted processes of
knowledge exchange by transnational intellectual discourses and international expert
communities have contributed to a variety of networks of European intellectual identities and
research practices. These practices again constitute a fertile framework for de-territorialised
and de-nationalised exchange of knowledge that might contribute to contagious processes of
emancipation cooperation as well as problem solving.
