Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is dedicated to creating a stimulating environment for top-quality research in social sciences and humanities. By way of integration into the European Research Area, we are ensuring a greater impact of our research and enabling young researchers to access advanced technologies and skills. Being responsible towards the past and open to the future, we are exploring and critically evaluating national legacy and identity. By believing in the principle of freedom in research, we are encouraging researchers to shape relevant questions both within traditional research fields and in the interdisciplinary environment. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences recognizes and accepts its role in creating a more progressive society. With our professional and scientific expertise, we are helping the society to recognize and successfully respond to local, national and global challenges. Taking advantage of our location in the capital, we are strengthening relations between the Faculty, the public and the private sector, creating a basis for innovative partnerships and a comparative advantage for students entering the labour market.
