Welcome to 14 new AIAS fellows

Today on 2 October 2019, AIAS gives a warm welcome to 14 new fellows who will begin their fellowship at AIAS and collaboration with Aarhus University faculty members. The researchers are at AIAS on research fellowships that will last from one up to three years.

The group of 14 new AIAS Fellows is a part of a group of 20 researchers selected in an open, international peer-review process in the Spring/Summer of 2019. The last six fellows of this cohort will commence on 1 February 2020.
