The group of 15 new AIAS Fellows are a composed of 10 international AIAS-COFUND Marie Curie Fellows, 2 international EURIAS Fellows and 3 ‘local’ internal Jens Christian Skou Fellows (AU researchers). They arrive from 13 different research institutions and bring 9 nationalities to AIAS that will host a total number of 34 fellows from around the globe from all academic research areas.

The new fellows’ projects at AIAS span from research into Parkinson’s disease; over the writing of a conceptual history of everyday talk; to looking at nutrients recovery and bioremediation of polluted waters in treatment wetlands, and many, many more. By joining the Fellows’ Seminars at AIAS you can hear about their research projects and get in dialogue with the fellows.

Novel projects, AIAS diversity and Aarhus University collaboration

While at AIAS, the new AIAS fellows will have the time to concentrate on and develop their individual research projects, but the infrastructure of AIAS also strongly supports collaboration and networking with Aarhus University faculty members and the research environments at AU and between the new, ‘old’ and ‘former’ AIAS fellows.
