The seven new fellows are a part of a cohort of 14 AIAS-COFUND II  Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellows who have been selected in the spring and summer of 2021. The first group have commenced in the autumn of 2021, and now the time has come for the last seven fellows to start. The new fellows come from a variety of academic areas such as mathematics, theology, literature and psychology, whereby they will contribute to the great academic diversity that is characteristic of AIAS, and an Institute of Advanced Studies.

During their AIAS fellowship, the new fellows will have time to develop their innovative research projects in collaboration and networking with Aarhus University faculty members and the research environments at the university.

Through the weekly AIAS Seminar Series, lunches and other interdisciplinary events and meetings at AIAS, fellows are exposed to a stimulating multidisciplinary community at AIAS, where they can discuss, collaborate with and get inspired by the current and former AIAS fellows and AIAS Associates to form new directions in their research.

Meet the new fellows seminar

On 10 February 2022 at 9.30-12.00am, you can meet the new fellows at the Introductory Research Presentations Seminar where they will give a short 6-minute presentation of their research project and the questions that it concerns. All are welcome to join this seminar.
