The Berlin Graduate School of Social Sciences (BGSS) is dedicated to the promotion of professional doctoral research in an international environment. The BGSS aims to train a new generation of social scientists. It offers a structured doctoral training curriculum, intensive individual supervision and an array of additional support and funding schemes. Since its founding in 2002 the BGSS has become a prime address for the professional education of up-and-coming young scientists. Each year a new "generation" of doctoral researchers joins the graduate school after successfully going through the international application procedure. In 2007 the BGSS applied successfully for a five year funding through the Excellence Initiative of the federal and state governments. The common goal of the faculty of the BGSS is to create an international platform for the education and training of up-and-coming young social scientists in Berlin.
