Research at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities

In order to conduct long-term research projects which either exceed the scope or lifetime of one single scholar or require an interdisciplinary cooperation of scholars, the academy founds special commissions, mostly by way of its classes. Scholars who are not part of the Academy can still be members of these Commissions. The commissions are responsible for institutes and research positions. They edit own publications and regularly publish reports about their research activities in the academy's own yearbook. Furthermore, it is possible to found interdisciplinary commissions and task groups if the respective research areas of both of the classes overlap.

You can take a look at the research projects done in the respective commission or you may read up on projects characteristic of the academy's work.
