Any EXC 2020 member pursuing a project that includes collaborative work beyond university structures contributes to CONSTELLATIONS' goal of promoting new and lasting forms of knowledge exchange outside of disciplinary boundaries. The hub helps connect EXC 2020 members with existing and prospective partners and does its own programming in alignment with the Cluster's research foci. These activities are supported by a core team consisting of Anna [Anouk] Luhn (Research Coordinator, on leave), Sima Ehrentraut (Research Associate) and the student assistant Maria Anastasia Scharff. From September 2025 through July 2026 Barbara Bausch serves as the Research Coordinator of CONSTELLATIONS. Professional-track postdocs join the team for the duration of their projects, which typically mediate academic research and the practices and methodologies of cultural work.
