On Tuesday, 22 October 2019, the Cluster hosted the Inauguration of the Berlin Graduate School for Global and Transregional Studies (BGTS) to officially welcome our very first cohort of doctoral fellows at SCRIPTS and also introduce the newly arrived postdoctoral coordinators of the Cluster’s Research Units as well as the postdoctoral fellows of the Clusters’ International Research College (IRC) and the fellows of the various projects of the Cluster. Montague Burton Professor at Oxford University and Einstein Visiting Professor at the Cluster as of January 2020, Prof. Dr. Andrew Hurrell, opened the programme with an inspiring keynote about liberalism.
