Engammare's research explores the intersection of religious history and material culture, with particular focus on Calvin's unpublished sermons, Protestant preaching networks in Switzerland, and Renaissance conceptions of time. His editorial leadership of Bibliothèque d'Humanisme et Renaissance since 1997 has shaped scholarship in Reformation studies.

He served as President of the International Federation of Societies for Renaissance Studies (2002-2008) and maintains editorial roles for key academic journals in his field.
