Members

The Institute of African Studies (IAS) unites outstanding scholars from different faculties of the University of Bayreuth. We currently have almost 100 members from all of the university's seven faculties. This diversity underlines the broad positioning of the IAS as well as the comprehensive research focus that is made possible through interdisciplinary co-operation. These collaborations create a unique research environment that offers innovative and holistic perspectives on African Studies.

Membership is open to all members of the University of Bayreuth who work or conduct research in relevant areas.

To apply for a membership, please send a cover letter (including thematic focus) and a CV to ias@uni-bayreuth.de. The application will then be reviewed by the Institute's Steering Committee. For the committee meeting dates see here. 

Further information on membership and the benefits of IAS membership is available on request.
