Henrik Steffens Professor
The Henrik Steffens Professor is a named chair at the Humboldt University of Berlin in the field of humanities and social sciences. It is funded by the Government of Norway and administered jointly by the Humboldt University and the University of Oslo. The professorship was established in connection with the state visit of German President Roman Herzog in Norway in 1998, on the initiative of Lucy Smith, the Rector of the University of Oslo. It is named for the Dano-Norwegian philosopher, scientist and romantic poet Henrik Steffens (1773–1845), who spent much of his academic career in Germany and who was Rector of the Humboldt University in 1834/1835.[1] The purpose of the professorship is to promote academic cooperation between Norway and Germany in the fields of humanities and social sciences, "in the spirit of Henrik Steffens." It is one of the nine named chairs at the Humboldt University.[2]
The professorship is hosted by the Department of Northern European Studies at the Humboldt University, which is located near Unter den Linden. The department also hosts the Dag Hammarskjöld Professorship, which is funded by the Swedish government.[3]
