Bayreuth Academy

The "Bayreuth Academy of Advanced African Studies" (founded in 2012 with funds from the Federal Ministry of Research and Education) is a centre for interdisciplinary research at the University of Bayreuth and since 2019 part of the Cluster of Excellence “Africa Multiple”. It is anchored in Bayreuth’s focus on African Studies and engages to intensify academic exchange between Africa-related and other fields of research. Open to scholars from all disciplines and all countries, the Academy fosters outstanding and innovative interdisciplinary research with an intensive fellow program, outreach activities, and innovative working formats involving postdocs. The Academy thus complements the Cluster’s research structures by offering a stimulating environment for the advancement of scholarly debates in African Studies and a hub for early career scholars.
