Facilities for Fellows

Office and support

Fellowships at NIAS are residential fellowships. The NIAS Fellow will be allotted an office in the main building with a personal computer and internet connection, and be entitled to the use of the library service and a limited amount of support.

Accommodation

Free accommodation in a studio apartment (or equivalent housing) is offered to unaccompanied Fellows from outside the Netherlands.
Housing at subsidised rate is offered to NIAS Fellows from outside the Netherlands who bring their partners or families. Accommodation is offered in apartments on NIAS grounds and family homes in Wassenaar.

Fellows from the Netherlands living within a range of 30 kilometres of the Institute are expected to commute daily. Other Fellows from the Netherlands can apply for accommodation in studio apartments on campus. Occasional overnight stays are also possible.

Scholars with up to 10 years of research experience after their Ph.D. degree will be awarded a Junior Fellowship carrying a stipend or replacement subsidy of € 2600 per month.
