Université de Strasbourg

15 Fellowship awards in 2022

16 May 2022

This year, the University of Strasbourg’s Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS) welcomes 15 researchers who will embark on their Fellowships in 2022, working on 13 projects. The new Fellows are from eight different nationalities and represent a wide variety of domains, as is characteristic to USIAS: biologists, ecophysiologists and neuroscientists from the life sciences, as well as art historians, literary scholars and philosophers from the fields of social sciences and humanities, and geoscientists, mathematicians and chemists from the natural sciences.

Two of the 13 projects involve a collaboration between a Strasbourg-based Fellow and an external Fellow from another organisation. The other Fellows from outside of Strasbourg have a host in one of the university’s research units to help them to integrate into the local academic community and discover a new city or country.

The new Fellows are:

  • Dr. Claudia Bonfio, Institute of Supramolecular Science and Engineering (ISIS), University of Strasbourg and CNRS, France   
  • Professor Raphaël Côte, Institute for Advanced Mathematical Research (IRMA), University of Strasbourg and CNRS, France
