The NIAS year group 2018/19 includes forty-two fellows from over fourteen countries. Renowned and talented scholars will be joined by writers, a journalist and an artist to create a collaborative, inspiring and interdisciplinary community.
“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.
