Institute of Advanced Study

About the Institute of Advanced Study
The Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) is a home for growing big ideas. We support a broad and inclusive interdisciplinary community from across the full spectrum of Durham academics, where different perspectives are brought together to develop creative approaches to interesting and important problems.
The Fellowship was an amazing and life changing experience. It has been a sheer pleasure. The supported, open time to work and write, the perfect balance of obligations and freedom, the invitation to join conferences here at Durham and to meet faculty with similar interests, and to engage with the other fellows, has been just spectacular. I feel inspired, renewed, and excited about the projects I’ve incubated here.
