IIAS MASTERCLASSES

Two or three times a year, starting in 1995, the IIAS will organize short
(two-day) closed working sessions for a small selected group of postdocs and
advanced PhD students (4-8 persons). These will be focused on and be under the
guidance of a very prominent scholar in a particular discipline.
The participants will be given the opportunity to discuss their work with the
'Master', in the presence of and in interaction with the other participants.

The choice of the 'Master' will be determined by the research that is being
done in the Netherlands by PhD students and postdocs (in consultation with the
Academic Board).

The participants in the 'Masterclasses' will be recruited from the research
schools and the relevant faculties and institutes. The IIAS also welcomes
participants from European and non-European centres or institutes which
maintain good relations with the IIAS.
The participants will be selected by the Academic Board and the Director of
the IIAS, based on a short (20pp) paper on their research projects, in which
particular emphasis should be placed on the subjects that are to be discussed
during the Masterclass.
