The Berlin Graduate School of Ancient Studies has once again been awarded funding for its excellent doctoral programs, following its earlier success in 2017. The graduate school, which has been run by FU Berlin and HU Berlin since 2011, collaborates with various partners to offer a total of five doctoral programs in ancient studies and associated disciplines, and is part of the Berliner Antike-Kolleg. BerGSAS will use the funding to strengthen the digital humanities within the doctoral training programs in collaboration with two non-university partners: the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the German Archaeological Institute. The focus will be on digital research methods and tools, research data management, and digital publishing. The funding also covers three doctoral scholarships.
Funding period: October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026
