Individual Fellowships

NIAS offers fellowships to scholars who wish to carry out research in the humanities and the social sciences. For five or ten months, scholars are offered the time and space to work on a topic of their own choice. Both scholars based in the Netherlands and scholars based abroad can apply for a fellowship.

NIAS cooperates with partners to offer fellowships that reach specific disciplines or encourage and support a particular research goal. Each supported fellowship has its own specific guidelines; some fellowships are awarded through an application process, but others are by nomination or invitation only.

Some supported fellowship programmes have been discontinued, but remain part of the collective memory of the institute. You can find those programmes on the page former fellowships.
