In [[economic anthropology]] he has maintained a friendship with [[Keith Hart (anthropologist)|Keith Hart]] that dates back to the 1980s, when they were colleagues in Cambridge.<ref>''Market and Society: the Great Transformation revisited'' (ed. with Keith Hart) Cambridge: 2009; ''Economic anthropology: history, ethnography, critique'' (with Keith Hart) Cambridge: 2011.</ref> He has also worked closely with other leading figures in the (sub)discipline, including [https://cla.umn.edu/about/directory/profile/gudeman Stephen Gudeman], with whom he led the “Economy and Ritual” postdoctoral research group in Halle in 2009-2012).<ref>''Economy and ritual: studies of postsocialist transformations'' and ''Oikos and market: explorations in self-sufficiency after socialism'' (both volumes ed. with Stephen Gudeman) New York: 2015.</ref> More recently he has co-led similar groups with [https://www.dur.ac.uk/health.inequalities/staff/profile/?mode=staff&id=10654 Catherine Alexander] and [http://www.lse.ac.uk/anthropology/people/parry.aspx Jonathan Parry] (on “Industry and Inequality in Eurasia”, 2012-2015) and with [[Don Kalb]] (on “Financialization”, 2015-2018).
 
Together with Faculty colleagues in history and archaeology at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (where he is Honorary Professor), in 2012 Hann launched an International Max Planck Research School for the “Anthropology, Archaeology and History of Eurasia” (ANARCHIE) in 2012.[http://www.eth.mpg.de/anarchie] With Hermann Goltz of the Faculty of Theology, he organized an international conference on Eastern Christians, the papers of which were published in 2010.<ref>''Eastern Christians in anthropological perspective'' (ed. with Hermann Goltz) Berkeley: 2010.</ref> He was a part-time collaborator in [[Thomas Hylland Eriksen]]’s “[http://ccrs.ku.dk/staff/?pure=en/persons/381452 Overheating]” project at the [[University of Oslo]], a multi-dimensional investigation of contemporary [[globalization]]. In 2016 Hann initiated “MAX-CAM: Centre for the Study of Ethics, Human Economy and Social Change”, a collaboration between the [[Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology]], the [[Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity]] ([[Göttingen]], [[Peter van der Veer]]), and the Division of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge ([http://www.socanth.cam.ac.uk/directory/professor-james-laidlaw James Laidlaw] and [http://www.socanth.cam.ac.uk/directory/professor-joel-robbins Joel Robbins]).
