The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has currently six PRIMA and ECCELLENZA project leaders. These represent prestigious grants and projects on fascinating topics. The meeting with the leaders is an event (articulated in two evenings) which aims at presenting their projects to all members of the Faculty (part I of the program) as well as to encourage doctoral students and post-docs to engage in a dialogue with the team leaders taken as role models, in order to exchange ideas about what a successful career is nowadays, around different issues such as mobility, specialization, publications, funding instruments, etc. (part II).

The PRIMA and ECCELLENZA scientific projects:

• Daniela Landert: The Pragmatics of Improvised Drama Comedy
• Angela Martin: Beastly Politics – A Theory of Justice for Nonhuman Animals
• Aline Schläpfer: Ottoman Afterlife in Jordan and Iraq. Politics of Remembering and Forgetting in New Arab States (1920 – 1958)
