Individual Fellowships

NIAS offers fellowships to scholars wishing to undertake research in the humanities and social sciences, as well as to those from other disciplines whose work engages with these fields. For a period of five or ten months, fellows are provided with the time and space to pursue a topic of their own choosing. Applications are welcomed from both scholars based in the Netherlands and those from abroad.

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.
