Fellows

The centre’s projects focus on major topics in a field that can be covered only by contributions from a range of disciplines. The fellowship program was established to ensure the inclusion of the history of science and technology, philosophy, sociology, law, political science, neurophysiology and physics. It also expands the existing expertise in the fields of art history, literature, cultural studies and biology.
