CIPSH Chairs

The CIPSH Chairs programme was created by the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies (Conseil International de Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines, CIPSH) in 2018 and is modelled after the programme of UNESCO Chairs. The programme is designed to highlight and encourage existing research networks of centres of research in the humanities and to attract greater attention to the humanities worldwide and enhanced recognition of their importance in contemporary society. CIPSH Chairs are established for a renewable period of five years.

History
The programme was proposed and discussed by the 33rd General Assembly of CIPSH in Liège, Belgium on 6 August 2017 and created by the CIPSH Executive Committee on 16 April 2018 during its meeting in Xiamen, China. The first CIPSH Chairs were established in 2019.
