Mar 29, 2023 | Fellows, IAS News, Projects

The IAS is delighted to announce its incoming cohort of Fellows and four research projects for academic year 2023/24.

Visiting Fellows will join us in Michaelmas 2023, Epiphany 2024 and Easter 2024 terms.  All our Fellows are working either across projects, departments, centres and institutes with Durham colleagues.

In addition to our ongoing support of early nascent research ideas, the IAS continues to support several major research projects each year.  Details of our 2023/24 projects are noted below, including which Fellows are collaborating on specific IAS funded projects, and those who are collaborating on other research with other Durham colleagues across campus.
