Events

Due to NIAS’ natural, unpredictable, and collaborative environment the Institute organises many different events ranging from public programmes to fellows hosting seminars and scientific gatherings. The institute subsidises and facilitates small-scale international academic or policy-related workshops by its fellows or members of academic institutions in the Netherlands.
