Guest Researchers
Each year numerous guest scholars conduct research work at the Ibero-American institute (IAI), supported by grants from the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD, German Academic Exchange Service), Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung (AvH, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation) and other national and international foundations. One of the IAI's goals is to initiate dialog and academic exchange with researchers from national and international universities and non-university research centers. In this way, the IAI hopes to encourage "research with" instead of "research about" other societies, cultures and socio-cultural spheres.
Since the IAI lacks the financial and human resources to cover all the fields and facets of its research program, it takes a great interest in the ongoing exchange with guest researchers.
As a service provider for the international academic community, the IAI makes its infrastructure and extensive bibliographic material available to guest researchers. It also offers both the support of its librarians and the cooperation and assistance of its own research staff.
The IAI enables guest researchers to give lectures at the institute and to take part in internal academic colloquia. In order to stimulate the dialog with both its own scholars and academics at other university and non-university institutions in Berlin and Brandenburg, the IAI provides guest researchers with the opportunity to introduce themselves and their research projects on this website. The website also presents useful information on a variety of topics linked to research stays in Berlin: academic exchanges, universities in the region, libraries, public transit, tourism and the city’s Latin American communities. Any guest researchers who would like to present information on this part of the website during their stay at the IAI should contact:
