"A year to think" - that is how a Swiss researcher once described his stay at NIAS. And that is precisely what the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in Wassenaar offers to approximately fifty carefully selected fellows each year. Scholars who have already made a significant contribution to their field are given the opportunity to devote themselves exclusively to their own academic projects for a ten-month period, individually or as part of a research theme group. NIAS grants a total of forty full-time fellowships each year.

Its tranquil surroundings on the outskirts of Wassenaar help to make NIAS a perfect place for concentration and quiet study. The Institute is ideally situated in a very attractive wooded residential area only three kilometres from the North Sea beaches, yet with easy access to all universities, libraries and cultural venues. Wassenaar itself can be easily reached. This pleasant town of 26,000 inhabitants lies nine kilometres south of the historic university town of Leiden, twelve kilometres north of The Hague, the Netherlands' seat of government and half an hour's drive from Schiphol, Amsterdam's international airport.

NIAS is a member of SIAS, an informal consortium of Some Institutes for Advanced Study. The other participating institutes are:

Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University (CASBS), Palo Alto, California, USA;
Collegium Budapest - Institute for Advanced Study (CB), Budapest, Hungary;
Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (IAS Princeton), New Jersey, USA;
National Humanities Center (NHC), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA;
Radcliffe Institute at Harvard, Massachusettes, USA;
Russell Sage Foundation, New York City, New York, USA;

Network of European Institutes for Advanced Study (NetIAS)

This informal network was set up with the help of the European Commission. Their principal aim is to articulate the role and the common interest of institutes for advanced study at the European level and to pursue a structured dialogue with the European Commission on themes of common interest and on possible forms of cooperation. The network organizes annual meetings between the directors of the institutes concerned.
