Welcome at the IASH

The Institute of Advanced Study in the Humanities and the Social Sciences is a research institute of the Philosophical-Historical Faculty of the University of Bern. Its major aims are to offer PhD students general support and professional training as well as to have them benefit from an extensive scholarly network. Concerning its long-term goals, the IASH envisions to support and promote a decidedly international orientation of academic research – both with regard to the doctoral theses of young scholars as well as research projects in the humanities and the social sciences as a whole.
