Strong support for independent research can be expected when the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies (AIAS) opens its doors in 2013.

AIAS will bring together Danish and international elite researchers from all academic disciplines under one roof and give both young, talented researchers and experienced researchers the freedom to conduct independent research.

The search for fellows has just started, with fellowships being offered in four different categories:
Employees at Aarhus University can apply for Jens Christian Skou Junior Fellowships and Jens Christian Skou Senior Fellowships, while researchers from other universities wanting to pursue their projects at AU can apply for Dale T. Mortensen Junior Fellowships and Dale T. Mortensen Senior Fellowships.

AIAS will be located next to the International Centre in Vennelystparken on Høegh-Guldbergs Gade in Aarhus.
