The IAS was launched by Durham in October 2006 as a research-led, University-based forum for world-class multi- and interdisciplinary debate. The Institute seeks to catalyse new thinking on major annual themes through critical dialogue between gifted individuals from diverse professional and academic backgrounds. The theme for 2013/14 is "Light", interpreted in its broadest sense – scientifically, symbolically, legally, philosophically, literarily, politically, economically, and sociologically. Applications are now invited for up to 20, three-month fellowships (October-December 2013 and January-March 2014), which will be linked to the annual theme. Applicants may be scholars, writers, artists or thinkers/practitioners from any discipline and from anywhere in the world. IAS Fellowships include stipend, travel, accommodation, subsistence and costs associated with replacement teaching or loss of salary (where appropriate).
Further particulars are available from the IAS website www.dur.ac.uk/ias Further details of the 2013/14 Light theme can also be found here.
Informal enquiries with the Directors of the Institute can be made via Linda Crowe, the IAS administrator. Tel: +44 (0)191 334 4686 or email linda.crowe@durham.ac.uk
Closing date for applications is Sunday 17 June 2012.
Eligible applicants will be partly funded by the European Union, through the Durham International Fellowship Scheme.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race"Calvin Coolidge
"The aim of education must be the training of independently acting and thinking individuals who, however, can see in service to community their highest life achievement" Albert Einstein (1867-1934)
