In addition to the regular program series, various other events such as workshops, conferences, and panel discussions take place at the Dahlem Humanities Center. They are part of projects by scholars associated with the DHC as well as cooperations with other institutions of Freie Universität Berlin, other universities in Germany and abroad, and non-university cultural and research institutions. In addition, the speakers of the Hegel Lecture and the Siegfried Unseld Lecture traditionally offer master classes or workshop discussions for doctoral and, sometimes masters, students.
