Institute

The Leibniz Institute of European History is the only research institute worldwide dedicated to studying the social and religious foundations of Europe since 1500, making it a key institution in both the national and international research landscape. The Institute conducts and promotes research that examines European developments in global contexts, or projects applying transnational and comparative approaches. The IEG has also established itself as a hub for research in the field of Digital Humanities. Through its renowned fellowship and guest programme, the IEG supports young international scholars who, during their stay in Mainz, become full members of the Institute’s research community.

The Institute is headed by its directors, Prof. Dr. Nicole Reinhardt and Prof. Dr. Johannes Paulmann.
