One of the core aims of the Institute of Advanced Study is to encourage Durham’s research postgraduate community to engage with the work sponsored by the IAS. The Institute provides research postgraduates with a unique opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with some of the most distinguished scholars from across the world and to access to a wide range of events that allows them to examine for themselves the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary research. Postgraduates are encouraged to attend the extensive programme of IAS Fellows’ seminars and Fellows’ lectures. Lectures are open to all.

This academic year seminars are taking place in-person only. Capacity at IAS seminars in Cosin’s Hall, home of the IAS, is limited and places will need to be booked in advance (see: What's On)

The IAS is a space and resource to explore ideas. If you are a postgraduate researcher keen to explore ideas through a interdisciplinary lens with other postgraduate researchers at Durham then make contact with the IAS.
