IIAS Fellowships

IIAS distinguishes between four categories of fellows:

1. Affiliated fellows
Affiliated fellowships are offered to excellent postdoctoral scholars who have arranged for their own funding (via own institute, one of the international exchange programs, or a funding organization). IIAS can advise in finding financial support for highly qualified scholars.

2. Fellowships within (inter)national agreements (MoU's)

Fellows from certain countries can apply for fellowships within (inter)national agreements IIAS has signed, for example:

• The Chinese Academy for Social Sciences (CASS), China


• National Science Council (NSC), Taiwan


• The National Institute for Humanities (NIHU), Japan


• The J. Gonda Foundation, the Netherlands

Regulations:
- selection by the international exchange institute and/or IIAS, upon receipt of the fellowship application form.
