General Information
Supported by the Federal Ministry for Research and Education the Centre for Mediterrranean Studies has created a platform from which to coordinate the activities of all Mediterranean scholars at the Ruhr University in Bochum and to connect them with national and international Mediterranean studies. The focus of research is on the humanities, cultural and social sciences, including geographical, natural and political sciences. The research centre looks at the Mediterranean and the dynamics of the region in a new way; it has thus an important contribution to make to the establishment of Mediterranean Studies in Germany and indeed to the advancement of Area Studies in general. The Centre for Mediterrranean Studies has 15 employee and 48 members
