The first nine fellows of this group will start at AIAS at Aarhus University on 1 October 2018; the last seven on 1 February 2019. The group of new fellows comes from 15 different research institutions from around the world, and are from research areas within both health, the natural sciences, arts and social sciences. The cohort brings to AIAS 11 different nationalities and an even gender balance, with a composition of 8 females and 8 males.

The new fellows will bring projects that span from research into HIV and the potential of a cell-based therapy to treat HIV infection; over how digitisation and digital media are transforming musical practices in the developing and developed world; to a Citizenship regimes project that seeks to rework existing legal and typological approaches to understanding citizenship, and many, many more projects.

Novel projects, AIAS diversity and Aarhus University collaboration
