Publications about the Institute's History

For its 50th anniversary in 2021, the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences presented an historical narrative of the establishment, importance and endurance of fifty years of academic freedom at the Institute. Despite, but also because of, some major internal and external threats, the Institute’s mission to be an intellectual haven for scholarly and artistic research and to foster curiosity-driven research, stands as strong today as it did in the year of its birth in 1971.
