IAS 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 leading Australian and International scholars across all disciplines to visit The University of Western Australia to work with a UWA-based colleague.
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.
Renumeration
For 2024, grants of up to AUD $2,000 for Australian-based visiting scholars, and AUD $4,000 for international visiting scholars are available.
This funding is intended to support travel, accommodation, and associated expenses (e.g. catering, taxi fares) directly related to events and activities undertaken by Visiting Fellow.
