Since October 1, 2016 Prof. Barbara Mittler is succeeding Prof. Joseph Maran in office as Acting Director of the Cluster of Excellence. Prof. Maran, who holds the chair for Pre- and Protohistory at Heidelberg University, also coordinates several projects at the Cluster. The main achievement during Prof. Marans directorship was the preparation for the new Cluster application for the new round of the Excellence Initiative, the MATS accreditation from the University and the selection of the next generation of GPTS- students (GPTS-8). Prof. Mittler, who holds the chair for Chinese Studies at Heidelberg University and is Deputy Director of the Centre of Asian Studies at Heidelberg University will now take over the final year of the Cluster as its last Acting Director.
