The Anthropos

is an interdisciplinary doctoral program offered jointly by nine institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences: the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology (IAiE PAN), the Institute of Literary Research (IBL PAN), the Stanisław Leszczycki Institute of Geography and Spatial Organization (IGiPZ PAN), the Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History (IH PAN), the Ludwik and Aleksander Birkenmajer Institute of the History of Science (IHN PAN), the Institute of Polish Language (IJP PAN), the Institute of Mediterranean and Oriental Cultures (IKŚiO PAN), the Institute of Slavic Studies (IS PAN) and the Institute of Art (IS PAN). The School was established in March 2019.

We encourage our students to go beyond the period and place associated with their particular field. Their research is informed by theories and methods from history, history of art, anthropology, archeology, geography, literary studies, and linguistics. The Anthropos program helps students to deepen their knowledge and acquire skills essential to becoming contributing scholars and experts in their fields.
