Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies „Artes Liberales”
Research and education in the field of Greek and Roman heritage and its reception in East and Central Europe
The newly founded Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies “Artes Librales” (IBI AL) at the University of Warsaw continues and develops all the scientific activities of the Centre for Studies on the Classical Tradition in Poland and East-Central Europe OBTA (twice the winner of the Hanna Arendt Prize for “innovative programs and interdisciplinary study in the humanities”), which still forms one of its most important departments. From 1992 various scientific programs of interdisciplinary research on the Greek and Roman tradition as well as experimental academic studies (B.A., M.A. Ph.D.) have been realized with a close participation of partners from this region of Europe, chiefly from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. The “IBI Team” numbers now 50 scholars. More than 1000 scholars (from Poland and abroad) are regularly cooperating in research programs organized by IBI AL. Director and Dean of the Institute is Professor Jerzy Axer.
