Third-party funding is an important instrument in strengthening and developing the IAI’s core areas—the library, research, and culture—and for purposes of the institute’s national and international networking. We have a wide range of projects supported by third-party funding, for example the special subject collection “7.36 Ibero-America”, the formal indexing and scholarly editing of posthumous papers, projects in the social sciences and humanities, and international conferences. Certain of these projects are presented here.
