Interdisciplinary Center for History, Cultures and Societies (CIDEHUS)
This History and Social Sciences research center analyses societal changes in the long term from an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. The Center has chosen Southern Europe (Portugal included, as well as other geographies historically and culturally related thereto) and the Mediterranean as the principal laboratory for observing those dynamics. Besides carrying out research activities, the Center also supports advanced training in its core areas of research and ensures the dissemination of knowledge to the academia and to the community.
