About us

The Max Weber Foundation Georgia Branch Office was founded in 2023. It promotes academic cooperation between historians from Georgia, the adjacent Caucasus states and Germany. In particular, the office supports the research activities of younger scholars. The history of the bilateral relations of the Caucasian states and societies with Germany, the transnational and international history of the Caucasus and the Black Sea region as well as historical Georgian and Caucasian perspectives on the rise, decline, competitions, domination and aftermath of  empires (such as the Russian Empire/Soviet Union, the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire or the Byzantine Empire) represent first core areas of the Georgia Branch office’s academic activities.
