PREFACE

This brochure provides a first insight into research in Germany in the fields of humanities and cultural studies and is especially recommended to early career researchers from abroad.

In Germany research in the humanities and cultural studies is primarily conducted at universities but also at non-university research institutions. Almost all universities and many universities of applied sciences host a research section in these fields. The spectrum ranges from small monothematic working groups to large interdisciplinary departments and covers a variety of topics from traditional areas to new explorative research fields.

This brochure is intended to give an initial overview. The following map and tables highlight research consortia and graduate training programmes at universities and non-university research institutes with a main focus on the humanities and cultural studies.

On top of this, there is a lot more to discover: e.g. the DFG funds a multitude of individual projects in the area of the humanities and cultural studies. These individual grants outweigh the research consortia both in number and in overall funding volume. Towards the end of this brochure, you will find a link to the online database GEPRIS that provides an overview of all DFG-funded research projects. You will also find additional important links for further information about programmes in these fields and profiles of German universities and research institutions.

We invite you to explore the many opportunities that Germany has to offer and welcome your feedback.

As every Leibniz institution Leipzig IMPRS “The Leipzig School of Human Origins” (IMPRS www.leipzig-school. focuses on clearly defined, socially-relevant themes, doctoral candidates have a LSHO) eva.mpg.de wealth of networking opportunities in a large, dedicated scientific community. The particular character of research at the institutions in the Leibniz Association, which includes fundamental, large-scale and application-oriented research, means doctoral candidates can conduct research from basic idea right through to application.

International Max Planck Research Schools (IMPRS) offer talented German and international junior scientists the opportunity to earn a doctorate under excellent research conditions. The research schools are established by one or several Max Planck Institutes. These IMPRS work in close cooperation with universities and other – sometimes international – research institutions. This provides an extraordinary framework for the graduate students to work in, and is a great advantage in interdisciplinary research projects, or in projects that require special equipment.
