Current fellows

The institute is an intellectual haven for international researchers, writers, journalists and artists. A place where fellows, relieved from their daily duties, can allow themselves time and space for curiosity. They work on their research or projects, collaborate in an interdisciplinary environment and share their knowledge with society.

NIAS is immensely proud of her fellows. The coming together of scientists, artists, writers and journalists produces a unique interplay. We celebrate the dynamism and vibrant dialogue it creates among all our fellows. Each and every member brings a unique research question to the table and makes full use of NIAS’ facilities and tight-knit community – driven by curiosity or the desire to help solve the biggest societal issues of today and tomorrow.
