Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH)
Description
The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities was established in 1969 to promote interdisciplinary research in the arts, humanities and social sciences at the University of Edinburgh. IASH is the third Institute of its kind in the world, and the first outside the USA.
It provides an international, interdisciplinary and autonomous space for discussion and debate. Since its foundation, more than 1,500 scholars from 67 countries have held Institute fellowships; and up to 28 Fellows are in residence at any one time. Housed in a secluded 19th-century courtyard overlooking the Meadows, the Institute is adjacent to most centres of University activity.
The Institute is one of the world's premier Institutes for Advanced Study. It supports innovative research and public engagement activities across the arts, humanities and social sciences through a range of interdisciplinary and international projects and programmes.
