This year SCAS celebrates its 40th anniversary since the inception of the Collegium in 1985. SCAS uses this milestone to look forward — to examine how Institutes for Advanced Study (IASs) can continue to foster free, independent, and interdisciplinary scholarship in an increasingly complex and evolving academic and global environment.
The jubilee symposium is on the theme Transitions: Future Trajectories of Institutes for Advanced Study (IASs) in Academia.
Jubileum symposium - Transitions: Future Trajectories of Institutes for Advanced Study (IASs) in Academia
The world of academic scholarship and science is currently undergoing significant change — in terms of organization, funding structures, mobility, and forms of collaboration. Questions around academic freedom and integrity are being reshaped in many regions, and Institutes for Advanced Study, are facing new challenges as well as new responsibilities. The symposium will reflect on these developments and explore how IASs can remain resilient, relevant, and responsive in supporting curiosity-driven research beyond institutional and disciplinary boundaries.
