About Us People A-Z
The Heidelberg Center for Ibero-American Studies (HCIAS) brings together scholars, lecturers, administrative staff, and scientific and academic support personnel representing a broad spectrum of disciplines and trajectories. From early-career researchers to senior faculty, and from assistants to coordinators and institutional managers, we aim at creating a dynamic collaborative environment that advances interdisciplinary research, innovative teaching, and academic dialogue within and beyond the field of Ibero-American studies.
