“As is customary, the year group is formed of individual fellows and theme group fellows who work in our historical St Joris building in Amsterdam,” says Director Jan Willem Duyvendak. “We strive for an open academic climate that provides a safe-haven for independent curiosity-driven research in the hope that many exciting interdisciplinary exchanges will occur and that fellows’ research will benefit and flourish.”

First Semester fellows at the start of the academic year.
