The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW) is a 
learned society based in Berlin. Basic research in the humanities, the 
interdisciplinary treatment of scientific and societal questions 
concerning the future in order to advise politics and society, and the

preserving endangered languages by funding documentation projects around 
the world, assisting grantees in conducting field research and archiving 
their documentary collections, and making those collections freely 
available.
