Completed Research Commissions

Over the years, the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities has supported a range of interdisciplinary research commissions dedicated to exploring emerging scientific questions and fostering exchange across disciplines. While these commissions are no longer active, their work has contributed significantly to scholarly discourse and laid the groundwork for future research. Topics ranged from the Academy’s own institutional history during the National Socialist era to the study of demographic change, the nature of information, the history of science during the Enlightenment era, or the development of new materials and catalysts.
