The scope of the research was soon enlarged to German entrepreneurial migrations and merchant networks from the 18th to the 20th century. On this topic I organized the international conference German Merchant and Entrepreneurial Migrations (1750-1900) [Villa Vigoni 24-26 November 2008; DFG Funding] and the panel Merchant networks, entrepreneurial migrations and economic development [Third European Congress on World and Global History 14-17 April 2011, London School of Economics & Political Science]. Recently I was invited to present my research as a seminar titled »Kaufmännische Netzwerke der Deutschen im Zeitalter Napoleons« for the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften Goethe-Universität Frankfurt (26. Juni 2018). The results of my thesis and of the Villa Vigoni conference were published as volumes: - Monika Poettinger, Deutsche Unternehmer im Mailand des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts.
