SCAS Hosted European Network and Celebrated Milestone Anniversary

The audience in the Thunberg Hall seen from the back of the room

Last week, the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study was the arena for two large events.

First, SCAS hosted the annual meeting of the Network of European Institutes for Advanced Study (NetIAS) as we welcomed colleagues from our sister institutes across Europe for discussions on ongoing initiatives, future collaborations, and shared opportunities and challenges.

The network meeting was instantly followed by the 40th anniversary celebrations of the Collegium, which saw invited guests gather for an international symposium on the theme Transitions: Future Trajectories of Institutes for Advanced Study (IASs) in Academia. Speakers and participants attended from near and far and contributed to vibrant and stimulating discussions on the unique role of Institutes for Advanced Study and topics such as academic freedom, interdisciplinary collaboration, global mobility, the support to early-career researchers, institutional purpose, academic diplomacy, and the evolving conditions for research, among other things.

Some impressions from the week will be found below:
