We consider transversally harmonic foliated maps between two Riemannian manifolds equipped with Riemannian foliations. We give various characterisations of such maps and we study the relation between the properties ‘harmonic’ and ‘transversally harmonic’ for a given map. We also consider these problems for particular classes of manifolds: manifolds with transversally almost Hermitian foliations and Riemannian flows.
