The first 14 fellows of this group will start at AIAS at Aarhus University on 1 October 2019; the last six next year, on 1 February 2020. The group of 20 new fellows arrive from 16 different research institutions from around the world and bring 12 different nationalities to AIAS.

The new fellows are from academic areas within both health, arts, the natural and social sciences. Their projects span widely: from investigations into everyday life in the single European market; over research on the role of light and circadian rhythms in cancer; to examining the New Left in the Arab East.

Meet the Fellows

To meet with the new, incoming fellows and the current fellows and hear about their individual research projects, the ‘Joint Research Presentations: Extended Fellows' Seminar’ on 9 October 2019 at 10.30am -16.00pm is open to all and will have short 6-minute research presentations by all AIAS Fellows.
