Between the 17th century and 1914 there was a steady increase in German migration to Britain. Many migrants brought with them skills, knowledge and ideas which had to be integrated into a different cultural context. Was this integration successful? What were the major fields of transfer? To what extent did migrants have an impact on the British economy, industry, society and culture? Why did specialists migrate at all? Did their experiences abroad have any repercussions on their country of origin? Such questions are tackled by the project participants' case studies. The interconnection between migration and transfer is accepted as heuristic principle by viewing migrants as transmitters of intercultural transfer. The research project is funded by a British Academy Grant for International Networks. It is co-organised by Margrit Schulte-Beerbühl (Düsseldorf) and Stefan Manz (Greenwich).
