EURIAS Fellows

European Institutes for Advanced Study Fellowship Programme (EURIAS) is an international mobility programme bringing together 14 institutes for Advanced Study in Europe. EURIAS builds on the strong reputation of the Institutes for promoting the focused, self-directed work of excellent researchers within the stimulating environment of a multi­disciplinary international group of fellows. Supported by the European Commission since May 2009, the Programme’s first call for applications was launched in June 2010. The whole EURIAS programme will offer in total 99 fellowships over a 3-academic year period (2011-2014). It consists of 10-month residencies in the participating Institutes. The programme is open to experienced researchers, promising scholars at an early stage of their careers as well as established senior researchers.

EURIAS Fellowship Programme was initiated by the Network of European Institutes for Advanced Study. The NetIAS brings together 18 Institutes across Europe out of which 15 are participating in the fellowship programme. This network was created in 2004 to stimulate a dialogue on IAS practices and possible forms of cooperation. NetIAS members share the objective of creating international and multidisciplinary learning communities.

As a member of the NetIAS community, HCAS has been a part of the EURIAS fellowship programme from the start. During the first year of the programme, HCAS will host one junior fellow and two senior fellows. In the forthcoming years, we will host one senior and one junior fellow.

2011-2012 EURIAS Fellows at the HCAS:

Kathryn Edwards, Ph.D., Professor of History (University of South Carolina)

William Van Andringa, Dr. Phil (classics), Professor of Ancient history (University of Lille 3)
