Uva Institute For Advanced Study

The University of Amsterdam (UvA) has established its Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) to advance cutting-edge interdisciplinary research that addresses complex scientific and societal challenges. It brings together outstanding researchers from all fields to generate novel ideas, expand knowledge frontiers and develop new interdisciplinary research methods. The IAS runs a fellowship programme and initiates a variety of activities. Most events are typically small-scale and flexible in an almost 'homely' ambiance, offering researchers a haven to ponder, debate and reflect. The institute actively involves world-class scientific leaders in its activities. More information can be found on our website
