Set up as part of Warwick’s ambitious new Strategy, the Institute will provide a site of international research interchange for the University.

Fifteen leading international scholars will join the University as Visiting Fellows between January and July – each for 1-2 weeks.

IAS Director Professor Margot Finn said: "As part of an evolving programme of activities, the IAS is funding 15 short-term Visiting Fellowships, attracting an international cadre of distinguished scholars, researchers and 'public' intellectuals to Warwick."

"These fellowships are designed to promote Warwick as a centre of intellectual excellence. We hope they’ll enrich the environment for postgraduate and postdoctoral research, as well as encourage research linkages and collaborations."
