HIAS appoints outstanding scholars, scientists, and artists from all parts of the world to pursue their own research projects for three to ten months on-site in Hamburg. HIAS puts deliberately no special focus on specific disciplines or themes to keep the research process as open and free as possible. Fellows are granted excellent conditions in an inspiring scientific and artistic context, with ample possibilities for cross-disciplinary and intersectional collaborations among the fellows as well as with researchers and artists from the HIAS member institutions in Hamburg.

A doctorate/ PhD is required for fellows working in academia.
