UvA Institute for Advanced Study
The University of Amsterdam has established its Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) to offer outstanding researchers a haven - free from constraints of disciplinary boundaries - where they can
work collaboratively on complex scientific and societal challenges. The IAS sparks new interdisciplinary research areas that build on the disciplinary strengths of the University of Amsterdam. The institute is a meeting place for bright and creative minds, where synergy is created and new ideas flourish. The IAS aims to enhance research excellence by involving some of the world’s foremost researchers and leading thinkers. The UvA Institute for Advanced Study was formally inaugurated on 16th September 2016.

This thematic approach allows for collaborations and innovations between different disciplines. We also explore methodological questions that concern all areas of research in our Foundations and Methods program. And the IAS contributes to policymaking by collaborating with governmental institutes and investigating the Governance of Complexity. |
