Objective

Our objective is to be a platform that provides interdisciplinary teaching resources and opens novel research avenues in order to bridge the gap between the humanities and the sciences.

This platform helps the humanities to integrate natural science perspectives into research and teaching, and it helps the natural sciences to integrate the perspectives of the humanities.

We aim to be a leading centre for successful dialogue between science and society.
