Distinguished Lorentz Fellowship
The Distinguished Lorentz Fellowship (DLF) is awarded annually to a leading researcher to work on cutting-edge research at the interface between the humanities and/or social sciences on the one hand and the natural and/or technological sciences on the other. Distinguished Lorentz Fellows are nominated by prominent figures from within the Dutch academic community.
The DLF award includes a personal prize of €10,000, a residential fellowship of up to ten months at NIAS and a workshop at the Lorentz Center. The fellowship is by nomination only and is awarded once per year to a leading scientist working at a Dutch university or research institute.

NIAS-Lorentz Program
Pivotal to the NIAS-Lorentz program is the understanding that important and exciting advances are to be expected in research at the interface of the Humanities and/or Social Sciences on the one hand and the Natural Sciences and/or Technological Sciences on the other. Topics of societal importance that require extensive collaboration across traditional scientific boundaries in order to progress are encouraged.
