Annual Report HAIT

The Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies (HAIT) at Dresden University of Technology (TUD) informs about its activities in the areas of research, university education, and transfer since 2003. From 2024 on, the Annual Report will be published in open access via SLUB Dresden. Apart from reports on the various areas, the Annual Report contains short topical contributions which give an impression of the ongoing research work of the HAIT's staff. Additionally, selected media appearances (interviews, newspaper articles) are offered as reprints. In overviews, the report provides documentation on the institute's staff, the events, lectures, and media appearances of its researchers and the publications at and by the HAIT.

Information on more recent activities at the Institute can be found on its web page. 

Open Acces

The HAIT Annual Report provides immediate open access to all content by the principle that making research results freely available to the public promotes the global exchange of knowledge.

At the same time, no subscription fees are charged to readers. The metadata of the published works are published under a CC0 public domain dedication.
