About the NIAS Fellows Association
The NIAS Fellows Association (NFA) supports NIAS and strengthens connections among past, present, and future fellows. Its goal is to enhance NIAS for the benefit of its community.
NIAS Fellows Association
The Association was founded in 1977. It organises the annual NFA Day to which all members are invited. The highlight of the NFA Day is the Uhlenbeck Lecture named after the founder of NIAS, Professor E.M. Uhlenbeck (1913-2003). It is delivered by one of the former NIAS Fellows.
The NFA also set up the NIAS Summer Stay in 2018. These Summer Stays allow for NFA Members to return to the institute for a 2- or 3-week period in summer.
Currently, the NFA is exploring NFA Members chapter meetings in different countries.
Membership
The NFA currently has 1250 members. Membership is open only to (former) NIAS Fellows and Staff. The life-time membership fee is currently €100 for Fellows from universities in the Netherlands, and €75 for Fellows from universities abroad.
