Heidelberg Center for Ibero-American Studies (HCIAS) at Heidelberg University

The Heidelberg Center for Ibero-American Studies (HCIAS) is a central research institution at Heidelberg University at the intersection of the humanities and social sciences. Taking full advantage of the university’s research and teaching prowess, at the HCIAS, we address interdisciplinary issues concerning the macro-region of Ibero-America, with Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula at its core and the areas with which there are close historical, cultural, political, or socioeconomic ties, such as the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, or the US.
