Einstein Foundation Berlin

In 2023, BerGSAS was successful in the competition for the Einstein Foundation Doctoral Programme (EFDP) title and will be able to strategically strengthen the field of digital humanities during the funding period (2024-27). Together with the German Archaeological Institute and the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, innovative training formats will be developed and implemented as integral parts of the BerGSAS curriculum. In addition, three doctoral projects will be funded with scholarships.

The Einstein Center Chronoi (2019-2025) funded several doctoral projects and enabled BerGSAS to hold events related to the centre's theme of ‘Time and the perception of time in antiquity’.

BerGSAS was awarded second place by the Einstein Foundation Berlin in 2017 as part of the competition for the Einstein Doctoral Programme Prize. The funding (2017-2019) was used to finance doctoral scholarships, guest semesters at partner universities, international conferences and workshops, and senior fellowships.

Berlin University Alliance

The Oxford–Berlin Graduate Network in Ancient Studies was established in 2019. It was supported by funding from the Berlin University Alliance until 2021 and, in addition to the mutual exchange programme, also enabled an International Graduate Student Conference to be held in February 2021.

German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)

Since 2015, BerGSAS has been one of the graduate schools supported by the Graduate School Scholarship Programme of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). As a result, numerous doctoral scholarships have been awarded to international applicants, including those from emerging and developing countries.

Research Training Group Philosophy, Science and the Sciences

During its term, the international research training group Research Training Group Philosophy, Science and the Sciences (2014-2023) was affiliated with the BerGSAS programme Ancient Philosophy and History of Ancient Science. The doctoral candidates conducted research on topics dealing with the dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in Greek, Roman and Arabic philosophy and science. The program was interdisciplinary in nature, representing subjects such as philosophy, classical philology, Arabic studies and the history of knowledge.

Excellence Cluster 264 Topoi

As a spin-off from the Excellence Cluster 264 Topoi (2007-2019), BerGSAS was closely linked to the cluster and also served as the graduate school for all doctoral researchers in the cluster. These students received doctoral scholarships and material resources from Topoi.
