Additionally, the Centre has been a leading partner of international research collaborations, such as with the Leverhulme International Network (PI: David Lines) on 'Conflict and Rivalries in Renaissance Europe', which included partners such as the Warburg Institute (London), the Centre d'Études Supérieurs de la Renaissance (Tours), and the universities of Ca' Foscari (Venice), Florence, Bonn, and Leuven.

Most recently, its main collaborative project has been with Paris Nanterre and its multiple international partners through the project Renaissances.
