The NIAS fellows year group 2022/23 includes 56 scholars, writers and artists. They come together at NIAS to pursue their projects in an interdisciplinary, collaborative, slow-science environment.
These fellows will become members of a community of independent thinkers, where time and space are created for them to be able to ask new questions beyond existing disciplinary boundaries and explore new possibilities within their own practice.
NIAS Fellows are selected through a competitive external review process on the basis of the quality of submitted research proposals. Creating a diverse year group is also an important guideline as part of the selection procedure. In addition to individual fellowships, there are also fellowships offered in collaboration with partners such as Instituut Gak, Lorentz Center, L’Oréal-UNESCO, Fonds Bijzondere Journalistieke Projecten, Gemeente Amsterdam, KITLV, NIOO, Wageningen University, NIDI, Akademie van Kunsten and the Netherlands Foundation for Literature.
Selected fellows are offered a working space, accommodation, daily shared lunch, and the opportunity to present and discuss their work-in-progress to receive constructive group feedback in weekly seminars. NIAS is very happy that for the year group 2022/23 it once again expects to welcome the majority of fellows in person on location at the institute in the heart of Amsterdam.
