Research

The institute’s mission is to do scientific research, which is mainly concerned with the history of Poland, Germany and Polish-German relations in the European context. Currently, the work is organized in five fields of research. These research areas integrate both the individual projects of the research assistants and, where possible, the projects of scholarship holders, interns and guest researchers. In this way, the projects offer a common thematic framework that promotes productive research.


Research Transfer

In order to support the international dialog among historians, the institute is highly engaged in research transfer. Here, the focus is on the relations between historians in Poland and Germany, as well as on those who are engaged in historical research about Polish-German relations and research on neighboring East-Central European countries. In particular, the GHI supports research projects and publications, organizes academic events, and offers scholarships.


Publications

In four book series, the German Historical Institute Warsaw publishes its own and external research findings and source editions on the history of Poland and the history of German-Polish relations. In addition, it publishes studies of German and Polish historiography on European, German and Polish history in German and Polish translation.


Library

The GHI Warsaw owns a scientific library, which is open to the public and holds around 90,000 volumes.
