Daniel Luther, CSc., is a distinguished researcher at the Institute of Ethnology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, where he has been actively contributing since 1974. His academic career spans over five decades, focusing primarily on urban ethnology, visual anthropology, and folkloristics. He has served as project leader for numerous significant research initiatives including "Sociocultural capital of successful municipalities as a source of sustainable development of Slovak countryside" (APVV 2017-2021) and "Civic activities as a determinant of sustainable urban development" (VEGA 2014-2016). Luther has also participated in multiple international collaborations such as the EU Operational Programme Central Europe's "Preservation and Enhancement of Folk Culture Heritage in Central Europe – ETNOFOLK" and the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic's project on Central European metropolises. Luther received his education at the Faculty of Arts, University of Bratislava, Department of Ethnography - Folklore Studies (1973), and earned his CSc. degree (Candidate of Sciences) in 1983. His linguistic capabilities include German, English, Russian, and passive French, which have facilitated his extensive international collaborations throughout Central Europe. Luther's research interests focus on urban ethnology, particularly examining the historical development of Bratislava, cultural diversity in urban spaces, and the transformation of traditional folk culture. His work explores how urban environments shape cultural identities, with special attention to ethnic minorities, particularly Czech communities in Slovak cities. He has made significant contributions to understanding intangible cultural heritage, folk theater, and the social dynamics of urban communities during periods of political transformation. His methodology combines historical analysis with contemporary ethnographic fieldwork, creating rich interdisciplinary perspectives on Central European urban development. Analysis of Luther's most recent publications reveals a consistent focus on urban identity, cultural heritage, and ethnic relations in Central Europe. His work demonstrates a progression from traditional folkloristic studies toward more complex analyses of urban diversity in the context of globalization and post-socialist transformation. A significant portion of his scholarship examines Bratislava as a case study for understanding how cities navigate historical memory, national identity, and multicultural coexistence. His research increasingly incorporates digital methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge anthropology, history, and urban studies. National Prize of the Slovak Republic for the publication Etnografický atlas Slovenska (1992) E.E. Kisch Award for factual literature for Taká bola Bratislava (1992) International Prize for Ethnoanthropological Studies G. Pitre-S.

Európske kontexty ľudovej kultúry (2001) Slovak Ethnological Society Award for Zabudnuté priadky (2003) City of Myjava Award (2010) Honorary Plaque of SAV Ľudovít Štúr (2010) Slovak Ethnological Society Award for Z Prešporka do Bratislavy (2009-2011) Slovak Ethnological Society Award for editing Cudzinci medzi nami (2009-2011) SAV Award for the electronic encyclopedia Tradičná ľudová kultúra slovom a obrazom (2013) Luther has supervised numerous research projects and contributed significantly to grant funding acquisition, particularly through Slovak funding agencies APVV and VEGA, as well as international sources including EU frameworks and Czech-Slovak collaborations. His leadership in the digitization of the Institute of Ethnology's archives demonstrates his commitment to preserving cultural heritage through modern technological approaches. Beyond traditional academic supervision, Luther has contributed to the development of younger researchers through his involvement in PhD studies and international research networks. As a member of the Council for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage at the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic and editorial boards of several academic journals including Urban People, Luther plays an active role in shaping cultural policy and academic discourse. His work with international folklore festivals in Strážnice and Myjava demonstrates his commitment to connecting academic research with public cultural initiatives. Luther's contributions to the electronic encyclopedia Tradičná ľudová kultúra slovom a obrazom represent a significant effort to make ethnological knowledge accessible to broader audiences.
