USIAS in brief
The University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS) was created in 2012 to fund excellent, original research in all scientific domains and to serve as a place of intellectual innovation. USIAS is a flagship project of the Excellence Initiative (IdEx) of the University of Strasbourg, within the national strategy for Investments in the Future (Investissements d’avenir) of France.
Through its Fellowship programme and activities such as the short visit programme and lecture series, USIAS welcomes and supports outstanding researchers from all countries and disciplinary backgrounds. Each year, the institute selects 10-20 Fellows for a period of between three months and two years to undertake innovative research.
The USIAS Governing Board is composed of permanent chair positions, that are held by highly distinguished Strasbourg academics from all domains. In addition, the Board includes associated chairs who are appointed for a fixed period, held either by top-level academics from outside of Strasbourg or by researchers from the University of Strasbourg who have made an exceptional contribution to their field.
