Selection criteria and the process

  • The academic programme of the workshop should aim at developing new (interdisciplinary) themes. Applicants may choose any academic subject that falls within the humanities and social sciences, including interaction with other domains.

The directorate of NIAS decides whether or not NIAS will facilitate the workshop. Together NIAS and the workshop organizer will draw up and sign a cooperation agreement containing the terms and the agreed budget.
