Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW)
The 2nd Annual Global Meeting of the Global Research Council will take place at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). Formerly the Prussian Academy of Sciences, the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities is located at Gendarmenmarkt in the heart of the German capital. With its interdisciplinary and international association of scholars, it is the largest non-universitarian research institute in the region of Berlin-Brandenburg with a profile in the humanities. Frequented today by scholars from around the world, the building was originally built in 1902/03 for the Prussian Maritime Trade Company (Preußische Seehandlung), the later Prussian State Bank. Its historical banking hall was reconstructed for the 300th anniversary of the Academy and expanded into a modern conference and event center.
