Support NIAS, support a NIAS fellow(ship)
Meet our fellows
Each year, NIAS welcomes up to 50 fellows from all over the world, providing them with the resources to focus entirely on their projects. Fellows benefit from a vibrant intellectual community, sharing ideas over work and daily lunches. Many even stay together at our Fellows House. Check out the lists of current fellows, and of NIAS alums.

Why we need your help
Academic freedom is under threat. Young researchers face job insecurity, while academic staff are burdened with administrative duties that minimise their focus on research. In some regions, access to essential research infrastructure is lacking or disrupted by disasters, conflict, armed conflict or political pressures.
With growing demand for NIAS fellowships and support, our existing funding is no longer sufficient.
How you can help
Your donation—big or small—can support the NIAS Solidarity Fund, NIAS fellowships in general, or a specific NIAS fellowship of your choice. You may also consider leaving a legacy gift or establishing your own NIAS fellowship.

- Set up your own NIAS fellowship
