USIAS has created three two-year research chairs for Strasbourg researchers, named after eminent scholars in Strasbourg's history and representing the three main academic domains: the Marc Bloch Chair in social sciences and humanities, the Paul Ehrlich Chair in life sciences and the Marguerite Perey Chair in the natural sciences. Each new chairholder is invited to give an ‘inaugural lecture’, in which they present the latest knowledge in their field of research to a wider audience.
