  Programme
  
  The programme concentrates on the study of slavery and forced labour in a range of different periods and geographies. Historical research that is set to break away from the concentration on a single period or geography has become a rarity in recent decades, and it is the aim of this programme to create an intellectual environment that allows more wide-reaching historical research while maintaining the rigorous standards for which high-quality research is renowned.
