The 9 new fellows commencing on the 2 February represent a composition of 5 external COFUND Marie Curie fellows and 4 internal Jens Christian Skou fellows. This constellation will ensure a link between the AIAS fellows to the ‘local’ Aarhus University research environments as well as extending the scientific tentacles of both the Institute and Aarhus University to the scientific world abroad. 

Interacting with high-level researchers

The 9 future fellows are all selected in a peer-review process to ensure a free and fair competition among the applicants, who are all rated according to the criteria of excellence. They will add to an Institute that is characterized by talent, academic comprehensiveness and international diversity. You can meet and take part in the academic discussions with the AIAS Fellows at the Fellows’ Seminar Series which are open to the public, and held 8-9 times each semester. See the Spring 2015 programme at: http://aias.au.dk/aias-fellows-seminar/.
