ONGOING PROJECTS

RECEPTIO focuses on two main macro-areas (i. e. Philology and Applied Codicology), whose methods of investigation intersect, giving rise to interdisciplinary projects. Our projects always involve teams of young researchers led by academics. The young researchers are PhD students and Post-docs. For some projects the research teams are exclusively composed of academics, specialised in particular fields of philological or codicological studies. Some of the projects designed and carried out by RECEPTIO have been taken up by larger institutions, such as the Italian Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico (see the MULIER ARTIFEX and the Intersexuality in pictures projects)  or by private companies focused on innovative studies

Below is a list of projects that RECEPTIO is carrying out with its own funds, thanks to Swiss public funding or private funding from Switzerland and abroad [for more information on the projects, click on the numbers]
