Social Sciences and Humanities
The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, which has had many names since its inception, looks back on an eventful past of more than three hundred years. Reconstituted in its present form in 1992 by an interstate agreement between Berlin and Brandenburg, it carries on the tradition of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. It is a major research institution in the field of the humanities and cultural studies supported by a network of outstanding scientists from Germany and abroad, participates in advising policymakers and the public (for example, on health policy and the scientific system), and encourages the dialogue between science and society in a variety of ways.
