The ET Project is (for now) funded mostly by a small grant from the TransferS Labex (http://transfers.ens.fr/); it was originally entitled “De l’espace au temps : cadres de référence et interférences culturelles” (hence ET).
It is co-funded by the Lattice, a CNRS laboratory, in Paris (http://www.lattice.cnrs.fr/), and the CCS or Centre for Cognitive Semiotics, in Lund (http://project.sol.lu.se/en/ccs/).
