After months of travelling in peer review around the world, an international Selection Board has successfully appointed 19 AIAS-COFUND Fellows out of a cohort of 143. The AIAS-COFUND Fellows will commence on 1 October 2014 or 1 February 2015, and are the first of their kind. They represent 11 different nationalities and 18 different universities and will hereby contribute to the international sphere and network of the Institute.

The appointment of the 19 new fellows is the result of a grant of €6.14 mill (DKK 46 mill) given by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research to the AIAS as a means to support the AIAS fellowship programme over the next five years. The AIAS can now welcome a diversity of fellows who carry out their research within an extensive range of academic fields from climate change research, over molecular biology to Classics and Ancient history to mention just a few, and thus they will be adding to the multidisciplinary environment of the Institute. 14 junior fellowships and 5 senior fellowships have been awarded in this call, and fellowships are of various lengths, giving fellows from one to three years to pursue their research interests at the AIAS and providing them with the opportunity to collaborate with other AIAS fellows as well as local AU researchers.

Applying for an AIAS-COFUND fellowship is also possible in the future as this type of fellowship is available over the next five years from 2014-2018. The next call for AIAS-COFUND Fellowships is expected to open late October 2014 with an application deadline around January 1st and commencement dates of September/ October 2015 and February 2016. Also, up to 5 Jens Christian Skou Fellowships will be available for local Aarhus University researchers with a commencement date on 1 February 2015, and the call for the JCS fellowships will open very soon, in September.
