The Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies—Jewish Scepticism (MCAS) is a Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe funded by the German Research Foundation. It opened in October 2015 and will run for nine years, divided into two funding periods (four years and five years).
The central aim of the Maimonides Centre is to explore and research scepticism in Judaism in its dual manifestation of a purely philosophical tradition and a more general expression of sceptical strategies, concepts, and attitudes in the cultural field.
The Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies creates an inspiring academic atmosphere in which distinguished and promising scholars from across the world have the opportunity to develop and enhance new insights on (Jewish) scepticism, its complexity and impact.
The Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies pursues an equal opportunity programme which fosters gender balance and the compatibility of family and career.
