USIAS recently instituted a total of three new chairs for Strasbourg-based 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 Natural Sciences (appointment forthcoming). Each new chair is invited to give an inaugural lecture.
