Classic residence

The essential

This “classic” call for applications is aimed at researchers who wish to temporarily leave their country, institution and disciplinary framework to carry out an ambitious project. The Institut d'études avancées de Nantes does not exclude any field of research or academic discipline.

The Institute's hallmark is its intense North-South dialogue, which gives full scope to thinking from the South. The Institut d'études avancées de Nantes specializes in the humanities and social sciences, and covers a wide range of research topics, from philosophy and biology to history, literature, political science and economics. Residents are encouraged to collaborate with local researchers and contribute to the intellectual life of the Nantes region.

Resident researchers also take part in seminars, conferences and other academic activities within the institute.
