EVTL-Projekt

EVTL - Epistolary Visions of Transformational Leadership - is an international and interdisciplinary research project consisting of researchers from five Northern European universities (Aarhus, Münster, Göttingen, Osnabrück and Birmingham), who work together across three different disciplines: new testament, classical philology and ancient history. The project examines Cicero's, Paul's, and Seneca's leadership through letter writing as transformational leadership. The project is funded by the Danish Research Council (DFF).
