Who we are
The Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut (IAI, Ibero-American Institute) is a non-university research institute for the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences with a multidisciplinary focus. As an area studies institution, it has a regional focus – Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal – and also takes transregional interconnections into account. It thus has a genuinely international orientation. The equal integration of different areas of work under one roof – collections, research and events – is what gives the institute its unique profile.
