South Caucasus Multidisciplinary Working Group

A multidisciplinary working group on the South Caucasus was formed at the IOS at the end of 2025, initiated by Arevik Gnutzmann-Mkrtchyan, Cindy Wittke-Hohlfeld and Guido Hausmann. The group's aim is to channel the increased academic interest in the region in recent years into the IOS's three research areas: economics, politics and history. The working group sees itself as a loose network and an institutional base for various South Caucasus activities at the institute.
