Project description
A boost for bold thinkers
High-level researchers in the social sciences and humanities often lack the time, freedom, and resources to pursue ambitious, boundary-crossing work. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the FIAS-FP (an advanced study fellowship programme) will offer 112 residencies across seven French cities. These fellowships provide experienced scholars with access to unstructured research time, personalised mentoring, and to vibrant intellectual communities. Hosted in top scientific and cultural hubs, the programme supports bold, original thinking and strengthens international collaboration. By fostering cross-disciplinary exchange and enhancing career prospects, FIAS-FP gives researchers the space (and stimulus) to take their ideas further, faster.
Objective
The French Institutes for Advanced Study (FIAS) Fellowship Programme strengthens high-level scholarship and international mobility in the European Research Area by upgrading the offering of scientific residencies to experienced researchers in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (SSH) and in other sciences interfacing with them.
The Institutes for Advanced Study (IAS)—located in Cergy, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes, Orléans-Tours, and Paris—form a large scientific consortium that proposes a unified entry point in France to seven first-class research, training and networking residencies. The 112 fellowships to be offered will provide experienced scholars worldwide with the opportunity to spend 10 months in leading scientific, economic and cultural regions in Europe.
FIAS supports individual professional development as fellows benefit from unsegmented time to conduct bottom-up research with the greatest freedom and enjoy outstanding material and intellectual conditions. Thanks to the IAS’ scientific and extra-academic support, the FIAS experience brings fellows to the next level of excellence and generates a significant boost to their careers:
1. It enables fellows to produce important work that would have taken them years to achieve;
2. It stimulates new perspectives on research thanks to daily interaction and collective intelligence of the international and multidisciplinary cohort of fellows and to the individual mentoring;
3. It enriches the fellows’ professional networks with local and international contacts in academia and beyond to develop long-term collaborations;
4. It offers vast training opportunities that improve fellows' research and non-academic skills and level up their individual professional achievements and prospects.
FIAS will impact the career development of each fellow, consolidating its strong track record in terms of recruitments and promotions, publications, awards and grants, and extra-academic recognition.
