UWA Institute of Advanced Studies Visiting Fellowships

The Institute of Advanced Studies plays a central role in facilitating research collaborations between UWA's scholars and leading researchers from across Australia and the world, with a mission of further enhancing the University's global research profile.

UWA IAS Visiting Fellowships are designed to foster Inclusivity, Interdisciplinarity and Innovation in research, through supporting visits by leading Australian and International scholars across all disciplines to visit The University of Western Australia.

Individuals working outside the academy, including artists, musicians, writers, activists, and public intellectuals are also eligible to apply for an IAS Visiting Fellowship, where their visit would contribute to the overall mission of UWA.
