CRASSH is dedicated to interdisciplinary research, and is located at the heart of the departments of arts, humanities and social sciences in a brand new building. We run over 300 events a year, with more than 20 conferences, 16 faculty research groups, Humanitas Visiting Professors, and longer term interdisciplinary research projects. We have a regular work in progress seminar for visiting fellows – we have 20 external visiting fellows a year and twenty internal, early career fellows. There is an extremely lively intellectual atmosphere of intellectual exchange at the Centre. Cambridge University needs little advertising as an intellectual powerhouse: we are walking distance not only from the University Library with its unparalleled holdings, but also the many other research holdings of the University.

CRASSH supports research across a range of core programmes and research initiatives and is part of the Centre for Disciplinary Innovation project sponsored by the Andrew W Mellon foundation.
