About the EURIAS Fellowship Programme (Available from 2014 - 2019)

The European Institutes for Advanced Study (EURIAS) Fellowship Programme was an international researcher mobility programme for promising young scholars and leading senior researchers. The EURIAS Fellowship Programme ran from 2014 to 2019 by initiative of NetIAS, the Network of European Institutes for Advanced Study that AIAS is a member of. The NetIAS network brings together Institutes for Advanced Study across Europe. 

The EURIAS Programme was funded by the European Union’s COFUND Programme, and offered 10-month residencies in one of the 19 participating Institutes across Europe.

The EURIAS Fellowship Programme built on the strong ability of an IAS to nurture multi-disciplinary and multicultural learning communities, open intellectual spaces where fellows can conduct bottom-up research with the greatest possible freedom and strong institutional support.
