NIAS Theme-Group Fellowships 2027-28 (Netherlands)

FellowshipsNIAS Theme-Group Fellowships, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Deadline: 16 March 2026.

A NIAS Theme Group is an (international) team of two to four researchers who collaborate on a specific research topic for five consecutive months. While each researcher pursues their own individual project, they also contribute to the team’s collective research efforts. Theme Groups are established either through an application process or may be initiated by the NIAS director.

During the semester, the Theme Group works on a self-chosen project that falls within the scope of the humanities and/or social sciences. Fellows may apply for a stipend or a Dutch University Grant, as well as reimbursement for daily commuting costs or subsidised accommodation in Amsterdam.

A NIAS Theme Group Fellowship offers the opportunity to collaborate daily on a specific research topic. It is also a true residency: all fellows commit to stepping away from their regular obligations to dedicate themselves fully to their research within NIAS’s international, multidisciplinary environment. In addition to providing uninterrupted time and space for the Theme Group’s research, the residency emphasises both intellectual and informal exchanges with other fellows. Participation in communal lunches and weekly seminars, where fellows present their work-in-progress, is a central aspect of the NIAS Fellowship experience.

To ensure the highest quality of the residency, NIAS requires fellows to be present at the Institute for at least four days per week, including attendance at the weekly fellows’ seminar on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They strongly recommend that fellows make the necessary arrangements with their home institutions before the start of the fellowship to enable full immersion in the residency.

NIAS Fellowships 2026-27 (Netherlands)

FellowshipsNIAS Fellowships, 2026-27, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Deadline: 16 March 2026.

NIAS has opened its fellowship calls – welcoming thinkers whose curiosity and insight transcend disciplinary boundaries. Scholars, journalists, artists and writers come together in a vibrant community where ideas breathe, collide and take shape.

NIAS has opened its fellowship calls – welcoming thinkers whose curiosity and insight transcend disciplinary boundaries. Scholars, journalists, artists and writers come together in a vibrant community where ideas breathe, collide and take shape.

In a time of complex global challenges, these fellowships are more important than ever: they create space to move beyond comfort zones, question assumptions, and pursue ideas unbound by immediate utility. At NIAS, the value of research is not measured primarily by immediate outcomes but by the questions it provokes, the perspectives it reveals, and the conversations it sparks.

The fellows include Safe Haven researchers: scholars whose work has been disrupted by war, conflict or persecution. Their presence signals a form of intellectual life that is grounded in the world, alert to its pressures, and free in its thinking.

The calls are an invitation to inhabit a space where curiosity reigns, creativity flourishes, and the boundaries of knowledge expand – one bold question at a time.

Founded in the 1970s, NIAS was the first institute for advanced study in continental Europe and the third globally, following Princeton and Stanford. At a time when academia was siloed and national in scope, NIAS brought together scholars from different disciplines and countries to rethink boundaries – a mission it continues to uphold.
