---For a globally operating research institution such as the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures, international cooperation, transfer of knowledge and skills, and the uninhibited exchange of ideas are crucial. So, what happens when a global pandemic puts a sudden stop to this? In the filmed interview series Working from Home Around the World, members of CSMC share their thoughts about how their work has been affected, how they cope with the various restrictions, which changes might remain with us in the future, and, of course, where they actually work from during all of this. Filming took place between September and October 2020 with Kristen Rau overseeing all production and editorial duties.
