Description
The UCL Institute of Advanced Studies was founded in 2015 and closed permanently in July 2026. It was based at the heart of UCL's Bloomsbury Campus in the Wilkins Building South Wing.
The IAS was a research-based community of scholars comprising colleagues and doctoral students from across UCL as well as visiting fellows and research collaborators from the UK and internationally.
It ran over one hundred events each year, produced regular publications and occasional podcasts, and was home to UCL's collective area studies research groupings and a number of specialist research centres, most of which continue within UCL's faculties and departments.
