For a graph G, a hypergraph H is a Berge copy of G (or a Berge-G in short), if there is a bijection f : E(G) → E(H) such that for each e ∈ E(G) we have e ⊆ f (e). We denote the family of r-uniform hypergraphs that are Berge copies of G by B r G.For families of r-uniform hypergraphs H and H ′ , we denote by R(H, H ′ ) the smallest number n such that in any red-blue coloring of the (hyper)edges of K r n (the complete r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices) there is a monochromatic blue copy of a hypergraph in H or a monochromatic red copy of a hypergraph in H ′ . R c (H) denotes the smallest number n such that in any coloring of the hyperedges of K r n with c colors, there is a monochromatic copy of a hypergraph in H.In this paper we initiate the general study of the Ramsey problem for Berge hypergraphs, and show that if r > 2c, then R c (B r K n ) = n. In the case r = 2c, we show that R c (B r K n ) = n + 1, and if G is a non-complete graph on n vertices, then R c (B r G) = n, assuming n is large enough. In the case r < 2c we also obtain bounds on R c (B r K n ). Moreover, we also determine the exact value of R(B 3 T 1 , B 3 T 2 ) for every pair of trees T
