During the NIAS Talks, fellows of the Institute engage with society and cultural practitioners to offer new or interdisciplinary perspectives to current state of affairs.
The Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences is committed to promoting interdisciplinary and curiosity-driven research for established and early career scholars, artists, writers and journalists. During the NIAS Talks, fellows or alumni of the Institute engage with journalists, scholars or cultural practitioners to offer new or interdisciplinary perspectives to the current state of affairs. These talks are specially designed for a non-specialist audience and we very much welcome a dialogue.
Because of current restrictions around Covid-19, all NIAS talks are also streamed online. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have an idea or would like to host a NIAS Talk.
