The NordIAS visiting fellows programme

The NordIAS visiting fellowship programme is intended to enhance the academic dialogue and network both for the fellows participating and for the institutes at large. The programme is relevant for you if you see added academic value both for you as a fellow and for the receiving institute in doing a visiting fellowship for 1-3 weeks as part of your existing fellowship. Before you apply, you are encouraged to seek out potential collaborators and/or activities of relevance at the receiving institute.
