NIAS Fellows Association Board
The Association was founded in 1977. It organises the annual NFA Day to which all members are invited. The highlight of the NFA Day is the Uhlenbeck Lecture named after the founder of NIAS, Professor E.M. Uhlenbeck (1913-2003). It is delivered by one of the former NIAS Fellows.
The NFA played an important role in the mid-1980s in defending the interests of the Institute at a time when large budget cuts in Dutch academia threatened NIAS’ existence.
