The Research Center HiSoMA, History and Sources of the Ancient Worlds (UMR 5189), is one of the research centers federated within the Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée-Jean Pouilloux (MOM). Its research activity focuses on the study of ancient worlds, covering a wide geographical area (from Gaul to the Indian subcontinent, via Egypt and the Levant) as well as a large chronological range (from the Old Pharaonic Empire up to the Late Antiquity, even up to the High Middle Ages) and encompassing all disciplines of Classics (archaeology, history, literature, linguistics, philology, patristics, epigraphy, numismatics, iconography). The center gathers close to 80 full time researchers, as many doctoral students, and about 90 associate researchers, all supported by administrative and technical engineersand contractors.
With its dynamic scientific activity, its precious library and its strong anchoring in Lyon, one of Europe’s major cities, HiSoMA has decided now to open to young foreign researchers a dedicated support to make their own research, giving them access to its research environment (specialists, library) through the creation of a new HiSoMA fellowship.
