International Walter Benjamin SocietyThe International Walter Benjamin Society brings together scholars and interested readers from around the world. The Society organizes major biannual conferences on Walter Benjamin and related topics, as well as serving as a clearinghouse for information on other conferences, many of them organized by members of the Society. The Society’s website also publishes announcements – and in some cases reviews – of new publications on Benjamin.

Walter Benjamin KollegThe Walter Benjamin Kolleg brings together research activities of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Bern. In inter- and transdisciplinary projects, doctoral students, junior fellows and other young researchers examine key questions of the Humanities, Social and Cultural Sciences. In all of this, the Kolleg’s role is to provide the framework for creative solutions when approaching problems which concern all of us.
