The Institute for Advanced Study is currently open as a place for interaction and collaboration in small groups for 2 days per week. When booking small-scale sessions, please be aware that our largest room can safely accommodate 8 people. 

To book and organise a small-scale session:

• Submit a proposal including: topic, format/programme outline, expected participants, preferred date and timeslot, catering requirements.
• Each group has to appoint a coordinator for the meeting, who ensures that the health and safety protocol is adhered to.
• After approval, the IAS Office Manager will contact the coordinator to plan the session and discuss the health and safety protocol (including a tour at the venues, if needed).
• Please forward your request to ias@uva.nl (preferably two weeks) prior to gathering.

Fellowships

Selected fellows get priority in our reopening plans, but have to be aware that the current situation limits our possibilities to foster on-site interaction and spontaneous encounters. Uncertainty of having to shift to a more (or less) restricted scenario remains, since new measures and restrictions can be imposed at all times. We are open to postpone the period of the fellowship and/or discuss alternative ways to get involved in the IAS community (e.g. engage remotely, or a combination of online and on-site). In any case, fellows keep the right to do (or finish) their fellowship in Amsterdam.
