Programs
CHCI supports a wide array of initiatives, including multiyear, international collaborative research projects, global institutes and workshops, and fellowships for scholars at member institutions.
Global Humanities Institutes
With the support of a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, CHCI launched, in 2017, the Global Humanities Institutes (GHIs), a program for a second generation of international collaboration. Since then, CHCI has funded five different projects on a broad range of themes, involving more than 25 centers and 200 participants from all continents.
Membership Activity Fund
