It is our great pleasure to announce that the European NetIAS Lecture Series resumes this Thursday, October 8, at 5 pm. This fall the Season 2 of the Lecture Series with the topic ‘Borders’ is a joint effort of the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Bologna and IAS CEU. All the lectures will be held online (on ZOOM), are open-access and will be recorded and uploaded on Bologna IAS and IAS CEU web-pages.
The Netias Directors assembled at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, Edinburgh, on November 11-12 to reflect on the Network’s future orientations and activities and to celebrate IASH’s 50th anniversary.
CAT is an open international call designed to foster interdisciplinary research teams of young promising individuals wishing to address emergent societal issues with fresh ideas.
Each spring, the EURIAS Alumni Community gathers at one of the participating IAS. This year, the Aarhus Institute for Advanced Study will be our host and kindly invites all the EURIAS Fellows and IAS Directors and representatives to join for these three-day promising conference and informal gathering.
The Netias is happy to announce a new member, elected unanimously on April 30, 2020: the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies (PIASt), raising the number of member IAS to 25 and the number of countries represented in the consortium to 18.

Dear colleagues,

Freedom of humor and satire is an essential component of democratic life; but at the same time, some forms of humor can be a vehicle for hateful or anti-democratic messages. How can we draw a line between free speech and hate speech, when it comes to humor? Answering these questions is particularly difficult in the case of highly condensed (and often ambiguous) forms of visual humor, such as cartoons or memes.
On 21 September, the members of the Constructive Advanced Thinking team ‘Cartoons in Court’ , will present the project which they will be working on during the next three years in four European Institutes for Advanced Study. The project focuses on visual humor controversies from an interdisciplinary perspective, with special but not exclusive regard to cartoons. The event will start with a presentation by the team members, followed by an open Q&A.
A multidisciplinary in-house publication based on the symposium held at Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies on 16/6/2020.
This pamphlet gathers together short essays by Helsinki Collegium fellows, who draw on their research expertise to analyze different aspects of the COVID-19 crisis. It sheds a light on the power of conjoining multidisciplinary perspectives: history, literature, psychology, anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, poetry, filmmaking, mathematics and more, disciplines which sit side by side at the Collegium.
