The Archipelago of the Humanistic Thematic
Networks is formed of 18 Erasmus-Socrates Thematic Networks which deal
with different areas and aspects of the Humanistic Arts and Sciences.
An "Archipelago" of Thematic
Networks are organisms created and run by active, motivated people
primarily from Higher Education institutions, but also from associations
and other bodies, from all European countries. The Networks are supported
by the Directorate
General for Education and Culture of the European Commission. Their
primary purpose is to address, on a pan-European level, the development
of teaching, learning and research -- on a special theme, in a specific
discipline or in multi-disciplinary area.
Each Humanistic Thematic Network has its own vast area of endeavour. In
the Humanistic Archipelago such different but related subjects as Language,
Philosophy, Literature, History, Geography, Political Science and Women's
Studies are represented. Architecture, Arts and Music, Administrative Science,
Humanitarian Rights, Consumer Citizenship and Children's Citizenship are
present. The Thematic Networks for Landscape Architecture, Informatics
in the Legal Professions and for the Humanities, Occupational Therapy and
Mediterranean studies are also lively components of our Archipelago.

Together we recognise the importance of
collaboration among ourselves and of reaching out to other broad
disciplinary areas in order to contribute in the best way possible
to developing the European Knowledge Space, and beyond that, the
conditions for full participation of the citizens of Europe in building
a peaceful, tolerant society based on multiplicity, collaboration
and diversity.
In our view the Humanistic Arts and Sciences have a central role
in building our future. Together our Thematic Networks can work to
their full potential.
