NIAS's Highlights brochure is out. It showcases a selection of projects and fellows from the past academic year, including our theme group on brain development, and research on the global trade of Chinese porcelain.

Highlights of the Academic Year 2013/14

The research group for the academic year 2013/14 included four theme groups as well as individual fellows. The disciplines represented by researchers from many different countries ranged across the Humanities, Social Sciences, Life and Natural Sciences. NIAS succeeded in attracting more women researchers. A good balance of senior and junior researchers was achieved. Yet, even with this increase in diversity, the year group maintained the sense of a close, supportive academic community that is so typical for NIAS. The vibrant NIAS workshop programme meant that over six hundred researchers were able to work together intensively during one of the twenty-eight workshops held in the NIAS conference building.
