NetIAS

Created in 2004, the Network of European Institutes for Advanced Study (NetIAS) is an informal association
of twenty-six institutes for advanced study from seventeen European countries. Its purposes include stimu-
lating a dialogue between the European institutes for advanced study on IAS practices and possible forms of
cooperation as well as discussions with the European Union about possible contributions to the development
of a European research region and the European programmes promoting research. The Swedish Collegium for
Advanced Study was one of the founding members of NetIAS.

Among the joint activities the network is involved in is the Constructive Advanced Thinking (CAT)
programme, launched in 2019. An earlier joint initiative includes the European Institutes for Advanced
Study (EURIAS) Fellowship Programme
, which was initiated by NetIAS in 2010 and co-financed by
the European Union through the 7th Framework Programme – COFUND action.

In April 2013, SCAS hosted the annual meeting of the NetIAS group with representatives from the member
institutes as well as many of the EURIAS Fellows for the academic year 2012–13.

NetIAS is co-ordinated by the RFIEA Foundation (Réseau français des instituts d’études avancées).
