Yearly Call for Nominations to the AIAS Associate Fellowship Programme for Aarhus University Researchers (February 2023)

The AIAS associate fellowship programme was launched in 2021 with currently 35 Associate Fellows: https://aias.au.dk/aias-fellows/associate-fellows/. The associate fellowship programme has proven to be a successful and stimulating addition to the interdisciplinary and international environment of AIAS. The aim of the programme is to strengthen the ties between Aarhus University and AIAS and to extend the interdisciplinary and international research community of Aarhus University.

Associate fellows are invited to participate in all academic activities as well as the weekly lunches and breakfasts. Associate fellows have the opportunity to engage in the AIAS community, explore interdisciplinary collaborations and to use the facilities at AIAS, for meetings, workshops, and conferences. AIAS offers support for associate fellows’ academic activities and events, taking place in collaboration with AIAS fellows.

The fellowships will be limited to two years, and will be awarded with the expectation of an active participation in the AIAS community.

Each faculty is invited to nominate up to three researchers for an AIAS Associate Fellowship for the period of August 2023 – July 2025. From the faculty nominations a maximum of 10 fellows will be selected by the AIAS Board of Directors.
