University-Based Institutes for Advanced Study
The UBIAS network was initiated in 2010, when representatives from 32 research institutes worldwide met at a conference.
By offering various fellowship programmes on different academic levels (junior and senior researchers), UBIAS institutes bring together outstanding researchers from different disciplines, nationalities and academic backgrounds, creating a productive environment for innovative research.
