Do you have an interdisciplinary research theme that spans across departments and faculties and needs a framework? Take advantage of AIAS's resources to help it be realized.
AIAS offers a dynamic platform that transcends disciplinary and organizational boundaries, providing essential support and infrastructure to move your ideas forward. The theme will be integrated into the annual AIAS-AUFF fellowship programme, allowing to attract applicants whose projects are aligned with the research ideas.
