Why apply?

Words from the Advisory Board

25 jul 2025

While there are many reasons to apply to the GIAS, we asked our Board members to share their thoughts on what makes the GIAS a special place. In the course of a recent meeting in Lisbon we recorded their varied, lively, and sometimes provocative reflections. They address a wide range of topics: the importance of collaborative research and conversation in the Humanities, the nature of an Institute for Advanced Study and, not least, what fellows can expect to find at the GIAS.

Get acquainted with our Board members in the videos.

Applications for fellowships starting on the following academic year are accepted July 1st through October 15th.
